First real Practice

[Tenten]

Tenten stood on the sidelines the the middle school feild, watching the players warm up. She was super hyped up today. It was her first practice with the team she is now, offically, going to help coach. Well today she was the coach coach for this team. The real coach had some sort of meeting or something of the sort. Today's Sport?

Soccer. Fun.

"Alright!" She called onto the feild and motioned the team in. Once they got in a semi-circle around her, she continued. "I want you guys to do two laps around the feild. Stay together, no leaving someone behind. Keep pace with the slowest person." She instructed.

"Hai!" All the kids replyed before starting their jog around the feild.

Tenten smiled to herself. This'll be so much fun!

[Deidara]

Deidara shuffled down the sidewalk. "I can't wait to get home, un." he muttered to himself. He blew on his long bangs. He'd gotten a lot of homework, but just wanted to go sit and do nothing. He started to pass a school with a field. "This must be middle school judging from all the squirts, yeah." They were jogging around the field. Soccer practice, he guessed. He decided to stop and watch for a bit, leaning over the fence.

[Tenten]

Tenten watched as they completed their first lap. Time to get going.

"Pick it up a bit!" She called out onto the feild. The kids all groaned in unison. "That adittude is not how we're going to win games!" She yelled again. She grinned as they picked up the rythem.

As she watched them go around once more, something caught her attention. An older guy with blonde hair was by the fence, watching the team. She tilted her head to the side and started to jog across the feild.

Once she reached the fence she turned back to the almost finished team. There were a few blondes on the team. She turned back to the guy.

He must had been out of school. High school at least. She had never seen him around before. That and he looked a little to old for High school. College maybe. "One of these guys your sibling?" She asked jerking her finger over her shoulder.

[Deidara]

Deidara picked his head up a little. The assistant coach was jogging over to him. 'Maybe she wants me to go, yeah?' he thought. He brushed his bangs out of his eyes, but they fell back in. And she evidently didn't want him to leave...at least right away. "No, un. No siblings. Just thought I'd watch for a bit."

[Tenten]

"Oh," She didn't really have a problem with it. As long as he didn't distract the kids. "Alright-"

"Coooooach!" Tenten turned around to see that the team was standing at the edge of the feild now.

"What? You all should be running!" She said putting her balled up hands on her waist.

"We're done! Want do we do now?" A brown haired boy asked.

"What do you normally do when Coach has you finished stretching and running?"

"He doesnt make us do that." A little blue-eyed girl said next. Tenten got a sweatdrop.

"Then what does he have you do?"

"Pass the ball back and fourth with a partner." The girl replied again.

"What else?" Tenten asked getting a little annoyed now. There was no reply. She smacked her forehead with the heel of her palm. "Fine. Header drills!" She said blowing into her whistle. She pointed to the field and told them what to do before turning back to the blonde boy.

"As I was saying..." She looked to her side then back. What was she going to say? "Well, if you want to come watch, at least get a good seat at the bench." She said smiling then turning back to the feild and started to walk towards the other side of the feild.

[Deidara]

Deidara looked sideways to hide his smile. It was funny when she got frustrated with the kids. At least, to him it was. He turned again when she faced him again. "Sounds good, un." Deidara agreed and made his way over to the bench.

[Tenten]

Tenten made her way back to the side of the feild with the blonde following her. Wait, she couldn't just call him blonde now could she. Once she stopped and faced the feild she asked, "What's your name? I'm Tenten." She smiled as she talked and extended a hand as a greeting.

[Deidara]

Deidara mentally slapped himself for not introducing himself. "I'm Deidara, un." He took Tenten's hand and shook it. He smiled, too, adjusting the strap on his messenger bag. He looked around the field. The team was practicing headers. 'That'd hurt if it got you in the nose, un.' Deidara thought to himself.

[Tenten]

"Nice to meet you Deidara-san." Tenten said before turning back to the feild. Some of the kids were stumbling around dizzy. She sighed and shook her head. This is going to take loooots of work. She thought. How am I going to... She let her thoughts trail off as she turned back to Deidara. "You dont happen to know anything about soccer do you?" She asked. She wondered if he could help. Sure it probably meant giving up a portion of her pay, but whatever. She'd get it back eventually.

[Deidara]

Deidara looked down at the grass. "Actually, I used to play, un." He remembered back a few years ago. "Yeah. I played defense." he said, watching the dizzy kids. "That might not end well, un." One was looking a little wobbly.

[Tenten]

"Really?!" She said surprised. She clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture. "Do you think you could help out for a little while?"

How the mighty have fallen She sighed inwardly. Normally, she wouldn't ask for any help. None what-so-ever. She hated it when people helped her out. But truthfully, she was only an assitant coach. She'd need more experaince to do it by herself.

"I can slit my pay with you for today too." She said. But then, realizing that if he was in college like she suspected, he would have much more stuff to do than she did. "Unless your busy or something." She smiled and rubbed the back of her head feeling a little stupid.

[Deidara]

"Sure thing, un," Deidara said, looking away from the stumbling kid. "I haven't played in a while, so I'm probably a little rusty." He scratched the back of his head. "You don't have to split your pay, it's fine. I don't feel like doing homework now, anyway."

[Tenten]

Tenten clapped her hands together. "Yes! Thank you Deidara-san! And it's ok, you'll be able to practice a bit today." She said smiling. She took her whistle from around her neck and blew into it.

All the stumbling kids stopped their drills and walked into a semi circle around Tenten and Deidara. "Ok kids, this is Deidara," She motioned to him and all the kids looked towards him. "He's going to help us out today. He played soccer before so he knows whats going on." She said with a nod.

"Hai, Deidara-sensei!" The kids all smiled.

"Great. Water brake then lets get back out there!" Tenten said throwing her hands up.

[Deidara]

All the kids semi-circled around Deidara and Tenten. He hadn't noticed that there were so many before. 'I hope I can handle this, un' he thought, putting his hands in his pockets. As they headed over to their things, Deidara looked sideways at Tenten. "Deidara-sensei," he echoed. "I never thought I'd hear that."

[Tenten]

Tenten grinned towards Deidara. "Same thing here, yet I get to hear it every practice or game. It's fun!" She started to walk out onto the feild. "I think we'll do some shots on goal now." She said to the kids. "I'll stand in goal, everyone do a few first shots and we'll see what we have to work on." She said. "Deidara-san, do you want to watch them, see what you think?" She said walking towards the goal.
