The group of shinigami groaned, the captain was at it again, being so casual around a dangerous being. The boy on the other hand smiled.
"That's nice of you, sir." Kyoraku walked over to the kid and squatted down to the kids eye-level.
"Do ya know your name?" He asked in a kind tone.
"I just know that it begins with a 'D'" The boy answered.
"So we gonna name ya? How about-"He was interrupted by the boy who said,
"I think Mom should know." The boy pointed at Matsumoto. The captain looked at the robust woman and started to laugh. He was joined by the nameless shinigami behind him. Matsumoto, if the kid wasn't injured, would have glared daggers at the boy.
"How is—hehehe-Matsumoto-pthahah-your mom? HAHAHAH!" Kyoraku asked. The boy smiled and hugged Matsumoto's arm to his chest.
"She's my mommy." The boy stated. Matsumoto was mouthing, 'I'm not' to the group. They understood, but still they laughed.
The boy suddenly froze and looked around frantically. The shinigami understood why after seeing a small white fox with green eyes and a green-tipped tail step out from a near-by tree. Upon seeing each other the fox ran happily to the kid and began nuzzling him.
"Who's that?" Kyoraku asked, not saying to the rest of the shinigami that the fox had the same spiritual presence as the boy, not yet at least. Although from Hitsugaya's reaction of seeing the fox, the icy captain came to the same conclusion as himself.
"Shikyo" The boy answered, although looking confused at how he knew the fox's name. A few of the nameless shinigami behind Kyoraku began suspecting the fox of being more than a fox.
"You wish to go Mom's home?"Hitsugaya, of all people asked.
"Yeah, sure. Where does Mom live?"
"In the Soul Society." Hitsugaya answered. The boy looked at Hitsugaya and then at the rest of the shinigami then at Matsumoto. He tried getting up but instead of using his feet, he floated a few centimeters off the ground.
"Let's go." The boy said.
