Good news: Update is early! I had decided that I update this fic every Monday. But I got inspiration and this is out early. It is not as long as the previous chapter but it is good enough. So... BlueSkyBlue is back with Chapter 2... of Stage Love! Please enjoy and do inform me of any mistakes I've done. Everyone is not perfect. I know my vocabulary and grammar sucks.

Chapter 2: Practice Time

Nagisa could not help it. He blushed. It had been a week since Koro-sensei announced that they will be doing the school play. Nagisa certainly had not been looking forward for this day. He felt like he was going to melt into the floor at that very moment.

"You look gorgeous, Sunako-chan!~" Koro-sensei cried.

Nagisa literally turned red. Can someone help him kill Koro-senei right now?

"Nagisa, stay still!" Kayano chided. "Or the make-up will be ruined!"

"Well, I'm thankful I'm not going to wear high heels," Nagisa thought to himself.

The costume team was trying his costumes on to see whether they fit.

And of course, Koro-sensei just had to be there to check up on his star character.

Nagisa wore a white dress with black lacing. Unlike other dresses, his dress is not puffy, but long and sleek. It reached just below his knees. He wore a pair of white sandals and a black choker was tied around his neck to hide his Adam's apple. His teal blue pigtails were also tied up with black ribbons. He was, in Koro-sensei's words, stunning; in his classmates' opinion, cute.

Nagisa swore that he died right there and then.

"Alright then!" Koro-sensei's cheery voice 'resurrected' Nagisa. Let's have a full-dress rehearsal!"

Oh shucks.

Karma hid behind a tree. He had reached the location of the Class 3E's building after going through the multiple obstacles on the hill. Deftly, he climbed up the tree to spot the whereabouts of the students. He may not look down on the Class E, but there was no doubt that they would react badly with his appearance. That is why he did not ask his chauffeur to drive him up the hill, he did not want to announce his presence.

Now… Karma scanned the area. Where are they?

A movement in the building caught his attention. Karma slid down the tree and crept silently to the building to get a closer look. As he approached the building, voices met his ears.

"YOU! Get back! How many times must I tell you that talking to the other children is forbidden?! The children here are uncivilized! You are the successor to my company, and you are to STAY WITHIN THE COMPOUNDS OF THE MANSION!" a nearly hysteric scream was heard, followed by some heavy breathes. "Was that alright, sensei?"

"Perfect, Sunako's okaa-san!" a way too cheery voice said. Karma The principal allowed such a teacher to be in the school?

The cheery voice sounded again. "Sunako-chan~ Your turn~!"

"Yes, mother. I will keep that in mind next time," a softer, almost dull voice said.

"Beautiful! Just like the dress you're wearing!" the teacher exclaimed again.

"Sensei, that is the 12th time you said that to me. Come up with a better compliment," a rather dry voice, 'Sunako' said.

"As you wish, Sunako-chan~!"

"Shall we continue, Koro-sensei?"

"Hai~! Go on~! Don't mind me~!"

Karma wondered why the teacher is so relaxed. And Koro-sensei? Who in their right mind would name their child "Koro"? Were they trying to name him after black or something like that?

"NEXT TIME? There won't be a next time!"

"My apologies, mother. A slip of my tongue."

"Good, now go back to your room!"

Karma continued to eavesdrop, frowning at some dialogues. Until-

"CUT! Good job! You can all go home now!"

Huh? Wait… since when did the school bell ring? Karma looked at his wrist watch. Shit, his eyes widened with a hint of panic. He was about to hide somewhere when a sharp, clear voice rang out, making him halt in his actions.

"Class… Assassinate!"

What happened next was something a genius like Karma can't make out. Sounds like guns shooting were heard, and he had to strain his ears to make out what the teacher was saying.

"Next time, Isogai-kun, aim higher!"

"Nakamura-san, it is rude to sneak up on your teacher!"

"Okajima-san, make sure you keep your feet on the floor at all times! Never know what might happen if you lose your balance!"

And… "Nice try, Nagisa-chan~! Next time, try to blend into the shadows!"

Karma couldn't make a head or tail of what Koro-sensei meant.

"Anyway students! Class is dismissed! Keep a good figure and remember your lines!" Koro-sensei said, cheerfully.

Choruses of "Arigatou, sensei"s were heard. Karma immediately hid behind a tree near the building as the Class E poured out from their class.

"That was fun." He heard. Turns out it will be a good place to eavesdrop on their conversations.

"With Koro-sensei around, it is always fun."

"True, that."

And…

"Did you see how Nagisa look like?"

"Yea, she was soooooooo cute!"

"I'm disappointed that we did not do Koro-sensei in though."

"Since when did we ever do him-"

"-yea, I know. We never do him in."

"*sighs*"

Also…

'I'm looking forward to the school play."

"To that, or to Nagisa?"

"Nagisa, actually."

"Knew it."

"Speaking of Nagisa, she has class duty today. Staying back."

"I wonder whether she's still in that dress?"

Nagisa. Why was everyone so fixated on this Nagisa person? Karma shook off his thoughts. So this Nagisa person must be really beautiful, for all the guys were talking about her. Furthermore, she is having class duty, so Karma wanted to see how she is like. More information to give Asano.

Once he made sure that no one is in the area, Karma came out of his hiding place. Creeping back to the spot he eavesdropping from when the practice was going on, he peered into the window.

He froze.

Standing near the window was a girl in a dress. She was arranging the tables while keeping all books away into a cupboard. She paused and turned around to look out the window. Karma's breath hitched as he quickly ducked.

He just saw a cute girl. A really, really cute girl.

And, for some reason, it made his heart beat really fast.

"Ai~ Who do we have here~?" Karma mentally cursed himself as he turned to see Class E's teacher, a rather tall but chubby looking man, looking at him. "Spying on girls~? What a rude boy! Then again," the so-called Koro-sensei gestured to the girl with rather weird looking fingers. "She is such a fine lady, eh? Cute and sweet enough to be devoured by wolves. I pity the wolves, she cannot be underestimated just by her looks."

Karma stared at Koro-sensei for a while before deciding that the teacher was nuts and walked off, deciding to come back another day.

Koro-sensei watched Karma as he walked away. "Interesting," he said, removing his human disguise. "Veeeery interesting….."

With that, he left for Taiwan at his Mach 20 speed, hoping to get some of the famous street noodles they sell there.

Done! The next chapter will be posted earliest by next week. Not sure... As this is early. Hopefully, I'll get it done before the school holidays end. I don't think its possible, as I'm also working on my Kuroko no Basuke fan fiction... I do appreciate the support! I was really shocked, 13 favourites and 23 follows for my first chapter! My best record so far! Still, I hope you all enjoy this fan fiction, and till then, ja~

Yours,
