Chapter 7

Continuing down the road Soi Fon blinked.

"Mommy can I play with that white haired boy?"

Unohana smiled gently. "Why don't you go and ask him?"

Unohana had to suppress a small laughter as Soi Fon ran up to Hitsugaya and asked if she could play with him. Matsumoto who stood behind him couldn't hold the laughter in.

"I don't play" Hitsugaya said, scowling at Matsumoto. Matsumoto calmed down and bent down to look at Soi Fon.

"Hi there dear, what is your name?"

"I'm Soi Fon" Soi said Matsumoto blinking.

"I told you" Hitsugaya said frowning as Unohana walked up.

"Now dear did you find a playmate?"

"No he didn't want to play" Soi said a little sad.

"I can play with you" Matsumoto said smiling.

"But you are old" Soi said an innocent look on her face.

Hitsugaya couldn't help but to smile, Unohana quickly hiding Soi Fon in her arms just in case.

"We should go" she said. "Good day Hitsugaya taicho, Matsumoto fuku taicho."

"Bye bye Shiro Chan, baa Chan."

Unohana smiled gently again and went into a shunpo away from the two 10th squaders. She stopped outside the 9th squad sighing.

"Now then Soi Fon don't call people old; many grownups don't like to be reminded of their age."

"OK" Soi Fon said smiling gently.

"Hi there Unohana taicho, how are you today?"

Unohana looked up. "Ah very good Hisagi taicho, and you?"

"Pretty good" Hisagi said, bowing gently, turning to Soi Fon. "And how are you doing Soi Fon?"

"I am happy" Soi Fon said grinning from ear to ear.

"That is good to hear" Hisagi said smiling. "Where are you going?"

"Mommy said that we are going to uncle Kyoraku" Soi Fon said smiling.

"You don't say?" Hisagi said smiling. "Then maybe you could help me with an ultra important task?"

"What is that?" Soi Fon asked, eager to help.

"I need you to take these ultra important papers to your uncle for me, can you do that?" Hisagi asked giving Soi a stack of papers.

"Yeah" Soi Fon said smiling from ear to ear, taking the notes, holding them close to her chest.

"Atta girl" Hisagi said smiling. "And for being so good, here is a present for you."

Unohana rolled her eyes as Hisagi gave Soi a new lollipop.

"You are going to ruin her dinner" she grumped.

Hisagi smiled. "Nah she'll eat later, right Soi Fon."

"Hai" Soi Fon said around her lolly, smiling to Unohana. "Can we go now mommy?"

"Sure" Unohana said gently smiling at Soi Fon who grinned back. "I'll see you around Hisagi taicho."

"Of course" Unohana taicho.

"Good bye Soi Fon."

"Bye Hisagi Chan."

Hisagi shaked his head as the two walked off, Soi Fon was indeed so much cuter when she wasn't frowning.

It took a while, but suddenly Unohana and Soi were at the 8th squad, Unohana smiling as they were met by Nanao.

"Hello there Ise fuku taicho, how are you?" Unohana asked.

"I'm… good…" Nanao blinked as she saw Soi who looked curiously at her.

"Where is uncle Kyoraku?" She asked.

"In there" Nanao said pointing to his office in shock.

"Arigato" Soi Fon said walking inside, leaving Nanao and Unohana.

"Was that Soi Fon taicho?" Nanao asked.

"Hai."

"And she looked like she was 3?"

"Hai" Unohana said once again.

Nanao sighed. "I owe taicho an apology. I thought he was having another drunken rant when he told me."

Unohana smiled. "Maybe we should go inside. I don't trust Shunsui alone with a 3 year old girl."

And as they walked inside Unohana had to sigh as she saw Shunsui and Soi, Soi having borrowed Kyoraku's hat, cards in both hands.

"What are you doing?" Nanao asked?

"Uncle Kyoraku is teaching me go fish" Soi Fon said smiling then looking at her cards again.

"Um… do you have any 2's?"

"Here you go" Kyoraku said smiling, Soi Fon beaming.

"Yay another pair."

Kyoraku smiled at Unohana. "She is so adorable."

"I know" Unohana said smiling. "So how are you doing Kyoraku taicho?"

"Pretty good… you got any 4'rs Soi Chan."

"Go fish" Soi Fon said smiling.

"Damn."

"By the way taicho… I'm sorry about…"

"no problem Nanao Chan, I forgive you."

Soi Fon smiled. "You want to join us Auntie Nanao?"

"Eh… sure."

Unohana and Nanao sat down, Unohana helping Soi with her cards. They stayed for a while, playing cards and talking about everything and nothing, before Unohana and Soi Fon left, Kyoraku giving Soi Fon a deck of cards as a parting gift with Soi's promise that she would come back with mommy!

Walking out on the road again Unohana smiled down to Soi.

"So did you have fun today dear?"

"Yeah, I meet a lot of funny and nice people."

"That's nice dear, now shall we continue?"

Soi Fon nodded and smiled then stopped and blinked.

"What is it dear?" Unohana asked gently.

Soi Fon simply smiled and ran off. "DOGGIE."

Unohana sighed. "Here we go again, poor Komamura"
