Meow meow meow~! Heya there and BlueSkyBlue is back with another chapter of this companion fic to When Nagisa Goes MIA! This chapter may or may not be inspired by Kuroko no Basuke... Okay, I'll admit it. It is inspired by Kuroko no Basuke. After all, I am not that discrete about the naming situation... By the way, does the name Nigou ring any bells in any of your heads?

Okay, that's enough spoilers. It's better to get on with the story. That would be a better idea.

What are you doing? Why are you still reading the Author's notes? The story is down below, so please enjoy!

Shiota Nagisa. Age 21. A guy with a rather short stature for his age, as he is hardly any taller than a highschool student. He has short teal blue hair and equally mesmerizing teal blue eyes. However, those teal blue eyes were filled with shock as he stared at the... creature in front of him before turning to his mother who was trying to keep her excitement down as she held the puppy in her arms.

"So..." He started but trailed off, not knowing what to say in his situation.

The puppy yapped and jumped out his mother's arms, immediately bounding around his heels.

"Isn't it adorable?!" Hiromi squealed. "I got him straightaway. His eyes are so much like yours too! So I thought to myself, this would be the perfect birthday present for my son!"

Nagisa looked down as the puppy began pawing at his trousers. He quickly lifted the puppy up, not wanting to risk his clothes ripped. The puppy yapped once more and licked his face, covering it with saliva.

Nagisa grimaced.

Hiromi 'aww'-ed

"Thank you... mom... for the present," he said, wiping of the saliva with a handkerchief. "I really appreciate it..."

"So so, Nagisa," his mother began. "Do you want to know his name?"

Nagisa sighed. "Please tell me you gave him an adequate name, I would not stand for it if I have to call "Strawberry" or "Candy" every time I want my dog to come up to me."

"Since he looked so much like you when you were younger," Hiromi started. "I wanted to call him Nagi #2... But that was too long, so I changed it to Nigou!"

The puppy, Nigou, yapped and wagged its tail happily.

Nagisa facepalmed. "I can't change it now, can I?" he muttered to himself.

Nigou gave a little bark again, as if replying "yes" to his owner's question.

Nagisa moaned to himself as he watched the hyperactive puppy bound around his apartment, making a great mess. His usually neat apartment looked as if a meteor had landed in it.

What was he going to do now? How is he going to care after a puppy while he is working at the school? He definitely cannot turn to any of his friends, as they all also have jobs and need to earn for a living. He did not want to leave the puppy at home, in fear that he would come home to see an utter mess.

Nagisa glanced at the clock. There was an hour left for him to prepare for another day working as a teacher. He then glanced at the cheerful puppy who has taken interest in sniffing his pile of worksheets.

Screw it, Nagisa decided that it would not hurt to bring the puppy with him to school for a day.

Now where is that leash that his mother gave him earlier...?

When Kiryuu Natsuka arrived in school that day, she was surprised with the presence of a slobbering, hyperactive monstrosity.

She stared at the puppy bounding around her classroom with disdain, unlike the rest of her classmates who were squealing and clambering to see the "omigod that's shooo cutezzz!" puppy. Then she turned to stare at her friends, her eyes literally demanding them to tell her what is going on.

"It's Shiota-sensei's puppy," were all they said.

Natsuka did not say anything, but literally every student in the class backed away from her, sensing a certain aura about her that screams danger. For almost everyone knows about the class representative's distaste of dogs, let alone puppies. The girl does not harbor any fear towards dogs, but she dislikes animals that constantly slobber over her without "giving her the respect she deserves".

At that moment, it seemed as if that even the puppy could sense her hostility, for it backed away from her, whimpering.

Then Shiota-sensei entered the classroom and she shot him a glare. Sensing her bloodlust, the teacher whipped around to examine her.

"Is there anything wrong, Natsuka-chan?" he asked, clearly unaware of his student's dislike of dogs.

The class representative just pointed out of the door and said two words.

"Dog. Out."

Unfortunately for Natsuka, Nagisa did not bring the puppy out. It was a definite no from him, as he did not want to risk Nigou scampering around in the campus with no one watching him. Instead, he put a leash on the puppy and kept it at the front of the class, constantly under his watchful eyes. Nagisa then proceeded with teaching the class English, while Nigou pitifully whined with the restraints placed on him.

"There are many idioms in the English language. Some with direct meaning and some indirect. Idioms are easier to learn when there are pictures accompanying them, so I have prepared some over here and we can go through them together," Nagisa started and handed out sheets of paper to the students. "I am sure that a lot of you already know some idioms from previous teachers or from foreign friends, so feel free to share more about idioms to your fellow friends. Now, let us quiet down and begin the class, shall we?"

In a matter of minutes, whatever chattering in the class died down as the sound of the pencils scribbling began. The only voice that could be heard was Nagisa's clear voice with the occasional whine from Nigou.

First came the sound of thunder.

Then came the flash of lightning.

And drops of rain started falling from the sky until a heavy storm formed.

The lesson was abruptly stopped as several boys in the class drop their pens and pencils and ran to the window, moaning about the inability to play under the sun during their Physicial Education later in the day.

"I guess you can say," the beauty of the class, Otonashi Hayuka, said in thickly accented English as all heads turned to look at her due to her unexpected interruption. "It's raining cats and dogs."

Many of her classmates looked unamused. Nigou yapped, wagging his tail and the mention of "dogs", as if he understood the meaning of the English word and that it meant him.

"You do realise, Mr Shiota, that you'll be in the doghouse with the education board if they find out that you brought an animal into the school compounds, don't you?" Natsuka shot Nigou a glare as she spoke in fluent English, her voice filled with venom.

"That's not funny, you know," the class bully, Akita said.

"I don't understand," the dense girl, Aoi Kazuko, tilted her head. "How is that supposed to be funny?"

A few students sighed. "It's raining cats and DOGS and in the DOGHOUSE, puns related to DOGS, Shiota-sensei's new PUPPY..."

"Ah," Aoi nodded her head. "But how is that funny?"

"THAT'S THE POINT!"

"Students, students, students," Shiota-sensei shook his head as he rapped on the blackboard to gain their attention. "Before the situation goes to the dogs, why don't you all stop fighting like cats and dogs and let sleeping dogs lie? I really do wish to continue the lesson, you know."

"NOT YOU TOO, SHIOTA-SENSEI!"

Somehow, one way or another, Nigou managed to escape his constraints.

No one had any idea how, but the puppy managed to pull away from the leash over it.

Not to mention that the storm that was still going on, so Nigou was probably somewhere, lost and afraid.

Hence, the students were forced into a game where they have to find Nigou. And make sure that anyone else do not find out about the random puppy running around loose in the school compounds.

And all this happened while Natsuka just sat aside, with her scissors by her side, doing whatever she does when she has free time.

They searched in every possible nook and cranny they could find, but Nigou still could not be found.

Not to mention the fact that the puppy could actually escape their chibi of a homeroom teacher's attention, as everyone knows that nothing can go unnoticed when Shiota-sensei is around.

...

Note to self: Never. Ever. Get a puppy.

Another note to self: Get a cat, cats are probably better.

And that's done! Phew!

That reminds me... I am having my midterm exams soon, so I'll probably not be updating any time soon... Not to mention the fact that I do have my major exams this year... Soooooo yeaaaaa.

Also, Nagisa was being super cringey with the puns.

Have I mentioned the fact that one of my best friends have recently got a fanfiction account? No I have not? Okay, well... This friend of mine is as big of an otaku as I am, and she is also writing an Assassination Classroom fic by the name of "Nagisa-sensei!". It is her first time writing fanfics on this website as she usually does it on Wattpad. I do encourage you all to read her fanfiction, it is really good. Maybe you can even see a few characters with similar personalities to mine... After all, most of our OCs are based off real life characters... *wink wink*

Anyways, that's about it for this chapter and I really should end it here. Till then, ja~

Yours,

BlueSkyBlue,
