AN: To avoid confusion, incase I haven't mentioned this before, in my demonic community 'weakling' and 'youngling' are huge insults.

Chapter 11

"Did you honestly think I wouldn't be back? Or did you not expect me back this soon?" The Patriarch asked, chuckling slightly.

Koji didn't answer. His reasonable mind was screaming at him to run and get away from The Patriarch, but his instincts refused to recognize Rad as a threat. So, naturally, he continued to merely sit a foot away from him with out so much as blinking.

"Is 'Daddy Dearest' in shock?" The Patriarch laughed.

Koji let a scowl take over his impassive face. The Patriarch had no right to call him that. Hell, Rad hadn't called him that in years.

"Or is he just being stubborn because I interrupted his little chat with his weakling youngling?" The Patriarch said, sneering… until Koji's fist met his face.

The Patriarch fell backwards on to the floor where he lay still for a moment. Then he slowly got to his feet to stare up at Koji. Koji on the other hand was, at the moment, wondering when he'd stood up.

"Hm" The Patriarch chuckled before teleporting out.

Koji remained quiet for a little while before, with a loud yell, he punched the wall of the cave.

'Damnit! I need to get a better handle on my temper. I can't risk hurting Rad just to get a swing in at that bastard' Koji thought to himself.

"WHAAAAAA!" the two babies cried.

"Why won't they stop crying?" Sideswipe complained holding his audio receptors.

"How should I know?" Eris asked, rocking baby Hisao and baby Ben at the same time.

"Well you are a mother, aren't you?" Blurr said.

"Koji's mother yes. These two, no" Eris spoke up over the sounds of the babies crying.

"Damnit! Red Alert are you sure we don't have any sound proof rooms!" Optimus yelled.

"No sir. We didn't think to install any" Red Alert replied.

Something was up. And Alexis knew it. Her boyfriend wasn't answering his cell phone and hadn't been since noon, which was almost ten hours ago.

Alexis flopped down on her bed with a groan, startling the three Minicons who were playing strip poker in the corner.

Relax Alexis, he's probably still out with the twins, Highwire assured her.

Yeah, besides your ruining our game, Sureshock complained.

"Get over it. It's not like you can really play strip poker anyway. Besides if you wanted peace and quiet so bad you should have gone somewhere else" Alexis argued.

Where? Carlos is sick and Highwire is afraid of the triplets, Sureshock said folding his hand since he didn't have squat.

I am not afraid of the triplets! Highwire said laying down a straight flush. They just cry really loud and it hurts my audios.

Alexis sighed before she dialed Rad's cell phone number again.

The Patriarch stared through the window at the irritated red head. He wasn't exactly sure what his great-grandson/reincarnated self saw in the girl. From what he could tell from this distance she was a young girl without anything outstanding about her features. So why did Rad feel so drawn to her?

May he was just looking at this through the grown demon's perspective and really just couldn't see a child as being attractive.

'Damn, the boy's influencing me more' The Patriarch thought. He definitely didn't use to think this much. Demons, while being highly intelligent, were creatures of instinct. They usually didn't have time to think, it was either do or die, literally.

Just then the girl tossed her phone, at least that's what he thought it was based on Rad's memories, across the room glaring after it for not giving her what ever results she was hoping for.

The Patriarch felt like someone punched him in the gut. That look on her face, that flame in her eyes. He knew her. Or who she once was.

Pyrena, a demoness from the Hellenic Islands in the east. She had come to his clan seeking a place to rest for the night. Upon meeting her he'd been drawn to her spirit fiery spirit. He hadn't been able to act on the attraction then because he was still life-bound to his traitorous son's foolish mother. Later, after his life-mate's execution for killing one of his allies, Pyrena had returned for another visit. The weeks following had been extremely pleasant. The woman had been like a wildfire in many aspects.

At the end of her visit things became strained because she'd refused his offer for her to become his life mate. They parted badly and never really got a chance to make up since that archangel slut showed up only a short while later.

And his reincarnated form had managed to find Pyrena and win her.

"Ha. If I were a romantic man I'd swear she were my soul mate"

Alexis sat still glaring at the phone. Why the HELL was nobody answering the phone. Rad could be off somewhere with his brothers that didn't get cellphone reception but nobody was at his house either. Even the Autobots seemed to have forgotten how to answer a phone.

If it'll make you feel any better we could ride out to Rad's house. It's not that far, Grindor offered.

"I don't want to ruin your night. I'd just like confirmation that my boyfriend is still alive" Alexis sighed.

Don't worry. If something was wrong we'd know it---

Highwire was cut off by the window imploding inward.

Koji was contemplating how to break through the spell The Patriarch had put on the cave to keep him from getting out when the latter teleported back in.

"Hello Grandson" The Patriarch chuckled. Koji glared back at him.

"No hello? You need to be more civil. We have company after all" The Patriarch announced turning around to reveal an unconscious Alexis in his arms.
