It was minutes before dawn and Yokai Academy was quiet. The day of Demona's tournament had finally arrived, but that wasn't all that was going to happen to today. For both events there were visitors arriving. The headmaster sat in his office awaiting one.

"I'm always amazed by how well you mask your presence."

"As I am amazed by the boldness of your experiments. You do know what happens to curious kittens."

"I'm well aware of the risks, which is why I've summoned you here. If I'm wrong and Tsukune Aono can't be controlled, you will have to finish him."

"You have no idea what kind of fire you're playing with… His power could rival even my own… He could destroy us all."

"Then why haven't you gone and killed him already?" asked the headmaster smiling.

There was a long silence.

"Because for some reason… that I cannot possibly comprehend… my daughter loves him… Why else would she have injected him with her own precious blood?"

"Well… Today's the day…" said Moka.

"But Tsukune still hasn't awoken yet." said Mizore "Who will protect him in the meantime?"

"The headmaster said he'd watch the chrysalis while we put Demona in her place." said Moka.

"Yeah, so he'll be ready to give me a kiss when I get back!"

"Why would he give you a kiss?!" said Yukari "And do you really think you're going to fight in such shameful clothes?"

"There's no shame in being attractive… super witch." said Kurumu making fun of Yukari's outfit.

"Now I'm angry!"

"Save the trash talk for Demona, speaking of which, let's get going… Guys?" said Ruby.

All the girls just stared at Ruby's outfit.

"Her outfit is more revealing than mine…" said Kurumu.

(To see all the girls in their outfits, go to deviantart, and for those of you look for the deviant KATTALNUVA, that's me)

Tsukune was still trapped in his chrysalis, his senses were still shot, but he could tell that something big was about to go down.

Demona stood in the center of the arena she had built with her own two hands without moving a muscle.

"Tsukune… The day of judgment is finally here. Soon I will prove that I am the most worthy to be your lover and wife… despite what all these others think… I've fed well lately… so there shouldn't be any interruptions"

Demona had enslaved boys to sell tickets for the tournament, and it was completely sold out. Boys and girls alike were placing bets for who they thought was going to win. But it wasn't just students who had come to watch the fight. Demona looked over at the school's clock tower and saw that it was almost time. Soon her sisters had entered the stadium.

"Welcome, welcome, everyone…" absolutely

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! WELCOME TO WHAT PROMISES TO BE THE CATFIGHT OF THE CENTURY!!! I'M GINEI MORIOKA! AND I'LL BE YOUR CELEBRITY JUDGE AS OUR CHALLNEGES TAKE ON THE UNBELIEVABLE IRRESITABLE, AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS DEMONA!!!"

"Gin? Who died and made him ref?" asked Yukari.

"Didn't you hear?" asked Demona "He prefers to be called celebrity judge."

Mizore noticed something in the stands.

"Oh no…"

"What?"

"Our parents are here…"

The other girls looked up. Mizore's parents and the entire tribe was here, so was Kurumu's mother, and Yukari's parents. Moka could also see Kokoa in the audience praising her. All of them were cheering, and some of them even had banners.

"What are they doing here?" asked Yukari.

"Isn't it obvious?" said Demona who was still smiling "I invited them."

"You? Why?"

"Simple… I'm well aware that some of you are under pressure from your parents, I don't have a mom, so I wouldn't know what that's like… but I'm sure watching you lose in front of them will make it that much more satisfying... Now let's get this show on the road… Gin?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the tournament to begin!" said Gin "Now let's review the rule of engagement. You lose whenever any part of your body lands outside the ring, if you give up, or… if you die. Demona will face all of our brave but foolish challengers one at a time. The last one standing, which of course will be our lovely Demona, will win the hand of Tsukune Aono!"

"When this is over, remind me to maim Gin." said Kurumu.

"Gladly." replied Mizore.

"Unfortunately Tsukune couldn't be here today because he's a little… how do you say it? Decomposed?" said Gin.

"Not decomposed, indisposed! Yeeshh…" said Demona.

"Whatever… let's get going! Now who will be first?!"

"Okay girls, remember the plan." said Ruby "Moka goes last so she can see how Demona fights while we tire her out."

"And this tournament means nothing, once Demona is out of the way we can decide for ourselves who gets Tsukune!" said Kurumu.

"Yes… so let's rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first."

"One, two, three, shoot!"

After several rounds of rock, paper, scissors it was decided that Yukari would go first.

"Good luck, you'll need it." said Kurumu.

"And it looks like our first challenger will be Yukari Sendo!"

Much to Yukari's surprise, she actually had some fans cheering her on besides just her mother and father.

"And if Tsukune were here, I know he'd be cheering me on too!"

"Last chance." said Demona, still with that wicked grin on her face "You can still walk away."

"In your dreams!"

"Alright competitors... let the battle begin!"

After Gin had said this he struck the gong.

"Alright, Magical Metal Bas-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHH!!!"

Before Yukari could finish her sentence Demona was on top of her in the blink of an eye and had punched her hard in the gut, sending her flying into the wall where she slid to the ground.

"Yukari!"

The other girls rushed over to her.

"Did… did… did somone… get the number… on… that… bus?"

"She's still alive… I guess Demona didn't want to waste any energy on her." said Moka.

"Well, that was short." said Gin "Yukari has landed outside the ring! Demona is the winner!"

"Girls… This is going to be harder than we thought."
