Hijikata had been somewhat distracted enough by the sound and the music difference enough to look up every so often when he was in the vicinity if the pipes, but he wasn't quite as intensely following the sound as he tried to put names to faces and such.
But, when he notices someone stalking through the shadows without care for the people in his way and what happens to them in the process to seemingly follow a pipe, the vice-commander can't help himself and follows.
He's a little behind, though, so he doesn't suffer the same fate as the man he's been wandering after, but he does catch the unceremonious fall into the ballpit's sea of colors due to not looking where he's going, but any reaction that might have befallen him in response to a normal stranger suffering such is thrown out the window when he recognizes the coat in the light and the blonde hair.
"Oh, gross."
If only he had a better vocabulary to describe his feelings beyond this discovery right now that he was following Kazama fucking-asshole Chikage without realizing it in the lighting.

WELL, at least someone got what they deserved.
