The hairs on the back of his neck raised almost as if natural instinct was trying to warn him that something was wrong. However, before he could act O'ren had jumped to the rescue using a vacuum palm technique to send the explosive scroll flying and saving Madoka from getting crisped. "Good work O'ren, quick thinking. Madoka, are you okay?" Looking over his shoulder he could see she was a bit shaken "You'll be alright, just be more cautious"

He'd go back to investigating the bodies, noting the head trauma, shattered bottle and mingling of blood and alcohol. He compared the cloth he had to what one of the bodies was wearing before looking to his Ninken.

He petted them both quickly before sniffing around on the ground, dropping to all fours to get closer to the smell.

"Possibly" he replied to Madoka "Both of you be ready. O'ren, is there anything in that direction?" He'd point in the direction of the alcohol trail and the tree that it lead to.

Approaching slowly, now no longer on all fours, Hattori and his hounds would close in on the Tree that the alcohol lead to. Omega approaching from the right, Alpha from the left and Hattori down the middle.
