The sound of footsteps echoed down inside the cargo bay. His sharp dark eye scanned the boxes. He had snuck aboard just recently, and heard stories about the ship that the captain was missing. So, what was the best thing to do? Hit the ship now while they were in a weakened state without their leader around.

Crow had managed to slip inside of the cargo bay, scrounging up some food that they had stored away, or any valuables to sell. It wasn't too bad, and plus he had yet to be detected yet. He had time to settle down almost amongst the cargo boxes and so on. He currently sat quite comfortably, in a make shift chair he had made out of the boxes and some stored away blankets. His eye stared up at the high ceiling and sighed as he lifted his legs to cross them up onto a box as a foot rest. If he could stay like this for a while, he would would be well off for a few months at least.

Yoruichi's ears pricked, even when she was sensing magical energy her other senses remained keen. There was a little noise, but what was it? Something big? Small? It felt like a large creature, humanoid, but not human, or at least not a non-magical human.

She kept her own magical energies held tightly to herself, integrating them with the flow of energy around her so that they would be as unnoticeable as possible. Carefully, she thickened that protective shell around herself and only then pushed enough magic into her legs that she could jump high up on to the crates which should give her a good view. She only needed a brief peek before hopping down and moving back.

She circled around quietly. He had blocked himself off from view as best he could, but that meant it was easier to hide from him as well. There wasn't any need to startle him. She was more curious to see what he would do if he heard her moving around, so she started making some more noise, picking a random box to rummage through.

His head perked up as he heard the sound of something, or someone, nearby. he shifted in his 'chair' and sat up straight, no longer in a reclined position. Senji's index fingers absentmindedly played with the small bladed rings on his thumbs for a brief moment before he stood up completely.

It had been a while since Crow had heard anyone down here. But this time, the sound was closer than before. His head inclined upward, his tall stature trying to peek over some boxes, but to no avail. It was like a handicap with this missing eye of his. He had learned to deal with it though.

The one eyed man slowly made his way past some of the aisles of boxes. He snorted as he suddenly stopped in a large open area. No need to be cornered, right? He walked around in place, in a full circle, to see whoever it was. Soon, he stopped and stared ahead of himself, raising an eyebrow. Crow soon spoke, his voice almost booming.

"C'mon now. Don't be so shy! I won't bite."

"Who's there?" Yoruichi called, still in her play acting mode. She stepped into view, as if curious and cautious, and pretended surprise at the stranger.

"I thought I didn't recognize that voice," she said. "Who are you?"

The smell of blood assailed her nose again, faint but present, to her at least. It was doubtful he would guess she could smell it. There was no undercurrent of rotting meat or entrails. It wasn't too fresh, and he didn't look wounded at first glance. Her face was calm and her posture relaxed, but she was very prepared for quick movements.
