The demon stood on two legs, had one head, and two arms but that's where the human resemblance ended.

The demon stood at a full seven feet, had pitch black skin and literally glowing red eyes like hot pieces of coal. It had long black nails that came to a point on both its hands and feet, a long tail much like Natsume imagined a dragon's tail to look like with a large scythe like protrusion on the end of the tail coming out of both sides. Natsume could also see two leathery wings folded down on its back and two large horns that extended out then back from its head with two smaller horns underneath the first set.

It blinked as it spotted them and Natsume saw it had two sets of eyelids a clear set that shut vertically and a normal set that closed normally. It scanned the group of people before it and Natsume felt her stomach turn sharply as its eyes lit up and glowed more brightly as it spotted Haru, Bianchi, I-Pin, Kyoko, Chrome, and herself.

Her stomach twisted even more and dropped and she could feel the evil rolling off this demonic creature and it repelled her like water repelled oil. It was disgusting and made her feel dirty especially as it spoke with a voice that sounded almost slimy "Well, well. More escapees hmm? Women too, and even a female child. Most of you are virgins as well if this nose of mine isn't lying…What a rare treat." It licked its lips and Natsume and the other girls stepped back as one with various faces full of disgust.

The males in the pack blocked them from view and Mukuro warned them "Demons are immortal unless you behead and burn them. Forget a step and they'll get back up."

The pack nodded as the demon's eyes focused on Mukuro hissing "Oh? An educated one hmm? No one else here has figured that out. How do you know?"

Mukuro didn't answer and instead lunged forward the kanji in his eye changing to a four giving him a boost in combat ability. Hibari came in behind him following Mukuro's lunge with his own.

No one threatened the people Hibari took in as his pack, especially the females and children. Hibari didn't think they couldn't take care of themselves, but he saw it as a his duty to protect the females and children in his pack viciously.

This…thing was disgusting and needed to die. So he would bite it to death.

Shoichi and Spanner pulled their modified weapons out making sure they stood closest to the girls. They could fight well now, thanks to Reborn, but they were still primarily Inventor Mechanics and so they resorted to being support fighters and the last line of defense when fighting happened. Reborn stayed near the girls firing shots towards the Demon's eyes. It wouldn't kill him according to Mukuro, but Reborn was pretty sure even a demon would have to pause when it was shot in the eyes.

Shamal was with them since his Trident Mosquitos didn't work on zombies nor did they work on the demon. He had sent one in to find out while he was talking to the girls. He placed his hand on his own firearm but stayed back. He was the Doctor and if he went down they'd all be in trouble. He was teaching Ryohei to use his Sun Flames to heal, but he wasn't experienced enough to be the only Doctor they had.

Yamamoto and Gokudera shot forward to join in the fight slipping easily into the fight with Mukuro and Hibari. Yamamoto saw Mukuro jump backwards and the kanji in his eye change to the number three. Then he heard the sound of viciously angry dogs and he saw them slip into the fight as well attacking feet, legs hands, and the tail, whatever they could bite.

The demon was getting annoyed and the others could sense it as it fended them off using its claws, scythe-like tail, and even its horns. Natsume made a strangled noise and shot forward before Reborn, Spanner, or Shoichi could stop her.

Reborn watched with his heart in his mouth as Natsume- brave, foolish, sweet Natsume- jumped onto the demon's back her mittens flaming into gloves as she grabbed ahold of the demon's horns and jerked sideways. The strike that would have killed Gokudera missed as the demon stumbled flaring his wings to catch his balance.

"NATSUME!"

"TENTH!"

"Baby Carnivore. Let go."

Natsume jerked the horns again and the demon made a choked sound. It reached back to pull Natsume off, but Hibari and Mukuro were there to stop the hands from getting ahold of Natsume while Yamamoto dealt with the tail, and she used the opportunity to jerk the demon's head sharply flinching only slightly at the loud cracking noise.

The demon stumbled and stilled and Natsume yelled "YAMAMOTO!" letting go of the horns and landing on her feet with a small stumble.

Yamamoto shot forward with sharp dangerous eyes and there was a flash as struck and a thump as the demons head hit the floor. The body stayed standing only for ten seconds but it seemed like forever before it, too, fell.

Gokudera was only a step behind him and the corpse was soon on fire turning into ash as they watched.

It took only a moment and they watched as the black skin faded to white, and the blank glowing eyes lost the glow and turned an ash white much like coal would when the fires died.

Natsume sagged slightly as the adrenaline left her mittens replacing gloves at the same time that various weapons were put away and the rest of the pack approached. Shamal quickly checked over everyone treating the minor scratches the others had gotten not from the demon itself, but from getting thrown into rubble by the demon.

Reborn quickly grabbed her from behind and flipped her around hissing angry "Dame-Natsume!" even as he scanned her over. Natsume let him and called to Mukuro who she could see behind Reborn.

"Mukuro" she waited until his eyes focused on her before she continued and Reborn stepped to her right side "What can you tell us about demons?"

Mukuro looked angry as he answered "Where Zombies are the people who gave into the sins of Gluttony and Greed and in turn hunger for those who have what they don't, Demons are much worse. They gave into Wrath and Pride. They are the people that commit some of humanity's worse crimes. Rape, Cannibalism, Child Abuse, Abuse in general. They are despicable disgusting creatures that deserve their place in Hell and their second death. That is why they want women. They wish to…relive some of their life. They will destroy zombies and each other so no one gets in the way of their…escapades."

The girls looked disgusted and horrified while the rest of the pack instinctively closed ranks around them as if they could protect them from even the idea of someone trying that. Natsume felt Reborn's hand clamp down on her shoulder protectively and made no move to shake him off as she stared in horror at the ash pile left of the demon.

Natsume closed her eyes and took as deep a breath as she could manage ignoring the murderous auras coming off most of the pack.

Something had to of caused this.

Something had to of caused the zombies and the demons to escape Hell and Natsume needed to find out what it was and how to fix it so everything could go back to normal.

She'd even be glad to move out to Italy and become the Tenth Vongola Boss if it meant this was over.

She opened her eyes and pinned the rest of the people there with them "We need to find out what is causing the zombies and now the demons to invade our home and stop it. This isn't natural. Someone is either summoning these things for some reason or someone has opened a gateway and it letting whatever finds its way out to roam freely."

She pinned each of them with a look asking silently 'Will you come with me to stop this?'

And in return she got looks that all answered 'Yes.'

She nodded once. "Then we need to start searching."

I'm sorry about the fight scene…That…wasn't my best. I hope you enjoyed anyway.
