A/N: What would happen if some of our favorite characters got a dog or cat?
1: Unohana
Isane Kotetsu walked into the 4th squad office, she was greeted with gentle purring. She looked down at her feet, and saw a blue and black cat rubbing up against her leg. She looked up and saw Captain Unohana walking up to the two of them.
"Hello Isane. How are you this morning?" Unohana asks nicely.
"Um, I'm fine Taicho. Where did this cat come from?" Isane asks.
"Oh, well I found her last night, wandering the streets of the Seireitei. I decided to adopt her. From my resources, she's an Egyptian Mau. I've named her Hoshiko. She's very gentle, and she seems to be very attached to me already." Unohana says.
"Oh, well. That's wonderful. I've always thought that cats brought great comfort to the injured, so maybe she'll help us out here." Isane said, reaching down to pet the cat.
It turned out Isane was right. Hoshiko liked to go around the squad barracks and the infirmary and visit with everyone. She liked to do this especially when Unohana was doing paperwork. She would just go sit by the people on beds, and let them pet her. It was a welcome distraction when there wasn't anything to do.
But, there was also one downside to having Hoshiko. Where ever Unohana went, Hoshiko would be on her shoulder or following her. Hoshiko would go to Captain's and The Shinigami's Women's Association Meetings. Hoshiko also picked up on Unohana's lovely smile.
It was actually pretty cute. Most of the time, it was a soft smile, like when she was purring. But, if Squad 4 had some unruly patients, Hoshiko would help Unohana set them straight. The Seireitei thought it was bad when just Unohana smiled? Try having it double!
