Jurei's nose twitched once more, then she decided to ignore the stench. Her ears however, twitched as well, when she picked up the sound of a quiet shrill of an owl. It was rather dark, and the fog settling in the street made it look like something out of silent hill. She made a face, but continued to walk on, ignoring the cats plea's for attention temporarily. The young man behind her did seem to be in a bit of a hurry. She could admit that her actions were meant to annoy him, considering she took great entertainment in picking on easily excitable people.
"Smell what? The smell of the air? The smell of your bad breath? The smell of alcohol? Actually, I don’t smell anything but for a smell of alcohol. Some Punk must have left his/her alcohol bottle in the streets..." She frowned slightly, but shrugged off the reply to her earlier question. She couldn't blame him for being annoyed with her. But saying she smelled? Well that wasn't very nice. She made sure to wash after every kill... Jurei let out a quiet sigh, and took a sliding step to the left, stepping into the street. Gesturing with her head for him to go on his way.
She wasn't exactly in any particular rush, so dragging her feet wasn't a bad thing. After exhaling a quiet breath, she placed her middle, ring, and pointer finger tips onto the ground, searching for a specific type of frequency. It didn't take long to find it. It was familiar to her... thought she often tried to avoid the creatures. It seemed like it was resting in a tree somewhere close by. There might have been more around, but she didn't hear, smell, nor see any others. It was odd... usually she would be able to detect any within a 300 meter radius.
She lifted her hand off the ground slowly after feeling a faint, but strong rumble of energy from about 200 meters southwest of their current location. The boy didn't seem to detect anything close by. It would probably be better if she kept it to herself anyhow. Jurei's eyes closed for a moment, then opened again, emitting a faint orange glow as she scanned the sky for heat signatures. There were various kinds of birds, but only a single flying hollow. They weren't particularly dangerous, or so she had gathered. They often just flew around in circles, waiting for people to die. A bit like carrion birds or crows, really. She blinked her eyes again, and stepped up onto the opposite sidewalk, the cat following along unhindered.
Her head tilted slightly as she noticed him sniff the area a few minutes after she had mentioned the scent. A bit slow in detection... It was doubtless that the feline beside her had smelled it as well, but it was probably nothing out of the ordinary, considering it was a stray. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a slight movement above a home. The heat signature wasn't too large, but it was bigger than any native bird. Her eyes narrowed and she lifted her arm to point at the creature. There a fainter heat signature in its jaws, hinting at a fresh kill.
''There...'' She wouldn't get involved, considering she had no appreciation for human life. They could all die in a hell hole for all she cared. But she wondered why the kid hadn't noticed it before. It was odd, considering he had a higher spiritual pressure than any of the others she had encountered. Much higher than a Vizard, anyhow. ''It isn't near your home, I'm guessing... but you may want to keep an eye on it nonetheless.'' She flashed a little smile and turned on her heel to travel down a side root that let to her little apartment. She was guessing he would attack it if it made any sudden moves, so Jurei wouldn't worry about her little brother back home. She turned back for a moment, and cupped a hand around her mouth. ''If you go back to the soul society... tell Nanao Inase that her grand niece says Hello!'' With that she turned back to her somewhat creepy path, hustling along because the chill was getting to her.
