The rings light up. Fire erupt. My eye's go wide.

"What is happening?" Enishi asks.

"Shhh..." Megumi hisses. 

From the fire girls with horns and tails appear. What the heck is going on? What are these things? They were all around Kenshin. He doesn't seem bothered. He just continues eating. He rips out chunks of meet. They scoot toward him.

"Demons." The man says. 

"Look at those chicks." Enishi mutters.

"Enishi shut up." Megumi says. 

A woman with a bucket soaks a towel in it. She squeezes it and rubs Kenshin's back. The other one runs her fingers through his hair. The third one seems to rub some kind of paste on his skin. 

"What is going on?" I whisper.

"Demons often pamper Hellhound's. Hellhounds are almost as powerful as the Devil. Demons are the lowest in the Social Class. Pampering a Hellhound is big for them." The man says.

Kenshin growls at the third one. She draws back. He grabs her neck and throws her aside. The other girls laugh and hiss. They continue pampering him. Then he looks up. The big ones come and bow.

"Akaria antora." One says to Kenshin.

(There is another soul that must be taken.)

"Kalla mara?" Kenshin asks.

(Where?) 

"What are they speaking in?" Megumi asks.

"Ancient Hell language." The man answers.

The girls draw back and disappear in the flames. The big one gives Kenshin a bag. He takes out a toy and sniffs it. He stands up. Fire erupts from him. He lets out roar. He runs off.

"He's off to condemn another soul." The man says.
