"The headmaster? But Ruby, Tsukune is sick."

"I can see that, but there's nothing we can do for him right now. In the meantime the headmaster wants us."

"Oh boy, what is it this time?" thought Kurumu.

The girls were led to the headmaster's office. He was sitting in his chair brooding as usual. The door was locked behind them as they entered.

"We're all here, sir."

"Yes, well done Ruby…"

"Oh and Tsukune is…"

Ruby whispered something to the headmaster.

"Interesting…"

"What was that? What about Tsukune?!" demanded Moka.

"For another time my dear… I have a more pressing matter to discuss with you."

"What's more important than Tsukune's well being?!" asked Mizore.

"The fact that one of this school's teachers has been murdered."

"Murdered?!" asked Yukari sounding shocked.

"Yes, murdered."

"Who?"

"Professor Yoshi Serizawa."

"The biology professor?"

"Yes, he was found last night by your club president last night with his body drained of blood."

"But what does this have to do with us?"

"Simple, Moka killed him!" said Kurumu.

"What?! Me?!"

"He just said he was found drained of blood, and you freaks thrive on plasma!"

"Moka didn't do anything." said the Headmaster.

"Then why are we here?"

"You know what teachers aren't allowed to do with their female students?"

"Yes…"

"Well, he wanted to."

"What?"

"My people have searched Dr. Serizawa's living quarters; he had doctored photos of himself with all of you in flagrante delicto."

"You don't mean…"

"Yes."

"Oh my god." said Mizore.

"Don't worry; I've seen to it that those inappropriate pictures have been destroyed. That's not the problem. The problem is the last experiment he conducted before his untimely demise."

"Which was…"

"Professor Serizawa was warlock, but he was also a certified doctor in the human sciences. He has performed any number of experiments over the years that incorporated both his skills… often producing catastrophic results."

"And… what was the catastrophic result in this case?"

The Head Master took out five sealed glass vials.

"Do you know what these are?"

"No…"

"It's your hair. He took samples from all of you."

"Why?"

"Professor Serizawa lusted for each and every one of you. But he knew that he could never abuse five girls on campus and get away with it. Nevertheless his desire never went away, so… he decided to create a substitute."

Now he took out a journal.

"This was also found in Serizawa's quarters… You might find it's contents shocking."

He opened the book to a specific page and showed it to them.

Moka Akashiya, Kurumu Kurono, Yukari Sendo, Mizore Shirayuki, and Ruby Toujou are the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, but I can never have any of them, otherwise I will lose my job, and Yokai Academy is the only place I can conduct my experiments without raising suspicion. I've resolved therefore to make a suitable substitute for all of them. Magic and science have both failed to create a human life, but maybe by combining the two, and using the DNA of five magnificent monsters, I might be able to create a specimen to survive the cloning process.

The girls all looked up from the book and at the headmaster.

"Did it… did it work?" asked Kurumu.

"Let's go to the tape."

"Tape?"

He pulled out a camcorder.

"This was also found by my people."

He snapped his fingers and a TV was brought in. The camcorder was attached and they killed the lights.

"Once again this may shock you."

They saw Professor Serizawa alive and well on the screen.

"I've done it! It's taken months but I've finally done it! Using the DNA I've collected, I've produced a living specimen!"

The screen changed to show a girl in a tank full of a blue liquid. She was completely naked, and apparently asleep, like a baby in its mother's womb.

"She has Moka's hair!" exclaimed Yukari.

"Yes, except that it's my color." said Mizore.

"She looks like my other self."

"And she had my breasts!"

They all looked at Kurumu.

"What? Was I the only one who noticed?"

"She's so beautiful…" said Serizawa on the screen "And she is mine… All I need to do now is watch and wait for her to wake up… Watch and wait."

The Head Master fast forwarded until the tape showed the girl kicking, screaming, and punching her way out of the tank. She collapsed to the ground and started coughing up liquid. Serizawa quickly threw some clothes on her.

"Are you alright my dear?"

"Waa… Where… am I? Who… are… you… Who… am I?"

For a minute Serizawa just stood there beside her smiling.

"Answer me!"

"I am Yoshi Serizawa, my dear Demona."

"D… D… Demona?"

"That's your name."

"Who… Who are they?" she asked pointing at the pictures of Moka and the others "I have a strange feeling I've seen them before."

"That is Moka Akashiya, Kurumu Kurono, Yukari Sendo, Mizore Shirayuki, and Ruby Toujou, the most beautiful girls on campus. From their DNA I created an even more beautiful creature, you my dear Demona."

"What? So am I only a copy… nothing but a collage?"

"No, you are your own person my dear Demona. You just have traits that I burrowed from other sources. I took the best parts of all those girls and combined them into the perfect female… you."

Demona noticed some videos that Serizawa had been playing that showed Moka and the others fighting their enemies.

"Hmm… Very interesting… But why did you do it? And why do you keep calling me dear?"

"Well… I guess I can tell you anything… I've secretly longed for each of those girls, but I could never have any of them without losing my job. But it doesn't matter anymore. Using their DNA I have created my own perfect lover… you…"

Demona laughed, there was mockery and contempt in it.

"Why are you laughing?"

"You may have created me… but I will never love you."

"What?!"

"I'm young and you're old, I'm beautiful and you're ugly, there is absolutely nothing you could offer me…"

Suddenly Demona's eyes glowed.

"Except your blood."

Without warning Demona leapt into the air like a tiger and bite Serizawa in the neck. The professor screamed, but it was to no avail, in a matter of moments it was all over.

For a few minutes the girls just stood there shocked.

"Oh my god."

"I don't believe it…" said Yukari "I've been cloned."

"Does this mean she has all our powers?" asked Mizore.

"I don't know… but if so then she could pose a significant threat… We have reason to believe she's still on the campus."

"But where then?" asked Moka.

"Hmm… If I was a cross between the five of us, where would I go?" said Ruby thinking out loud.

"I know! I'd try to seduce Tsukune!" said Kurumu.

There was a brief moment of silence. That was the one thing they all had in common.

"TSUKUNE!!!"

They all rushed out.
