Chapter 5
'Damnit! What is he doing back?' Hao Saka thought furiously. 'He was suppose to stay on that godforsaken hunk of metal halfway across the universe. I certainly did enough to make him want to stay there!'
Hao had run out of the classroom after seeing Koji. For a moment he could have sworn Hisao had risen from the dead and come to get revenge for everything Hao had ever done to his son. But then he'd realized that was impossible. One Hisao had never known what had happened to the boy, two the dead couldn't come back. It had been bad enough when the boy was thirteen and looked somewhat like his father. Now Koji was almost identical to the bastard.
He had to find a way to get rid of the boy. When Hisao's brat had been on the other side of the universe (AN: hyperbole) they could forget that part of their lives but when he looked at the kid's face he was right back to feeling like a trespasser again. If even after he realized that it was Hisao's son he was looking at he still saw Hisao's disapproving face. Hisao had known about him and Misa's affair. Hell the man had walked in on them once or twice. He hadn't cared. He'd only married Misa to shut his father up so he could continue to mourn his whore/wife in peace. That woman had been the only thing the man had cared about. His grief over her had blinded him to what was happening to his son. But Hisao had had the nerve to look at him like he was dirt because of his and Misa's affair.
"Yo teach? You all right?" one of his students had come looking for him.
"Yes I'll be back in in a minute," he said. When he got home he and Misa were going to have to discuss this again. He couldn't live in peace knowing the boy was back and having to see him everyday.
'Damnit! Who the hell decided to give him a job working with kids?' Koji thought. He'd left when one of the kids had decided to go looking for Hao. Optimus may want him to face the problems he'd been running from for the last four years but Koji drew the line at sitting in class while the man who had abused him for eight years lectured on politics.
He needed to get away from school to somewhere he could think. First he needed a ride. Axel would still be with the firing squad, Sideburn (1 would be on the firing squad and (2 was starting to mature since he was an older brother now and would tell Optimus that Koji was skipping school. So that left Ultra Magnus. Luckily he was on Koji's cell phone contacts list.
"Hey Magnus," he said when Magnus answered.
"What is it Koji?"
"I need a ride."
"Why aren't you in school?"
Koji wondered if he should tell. Ultra Magnus wouldn't give him a ride if he didn't have a good reason. Plus he wouldn't tell Optimus. Ultra Magnus would go on a rampage, destroy the school (another plus), and maybe kill Hao (Even bigger plus), but he wouldn't tell.
"Hao's teaching my fifth period class."
"Hao's teaching my fifth period class."
When Magnus heard those words he was no longer driving around downtown Tokyo. He was standing frozen with shock in Koji's back yard four years before watching a dark haired man bring a leather belt down on his friend/nephew's back. He heard Koji's scream again, saw the man slam Koji's already bloody back hard against the wooden pole he was tied to, and saw the man slap the boy hard enough to bruise the entire cheek.
"What!" He didn't yell, he hissed.
"He's here," Koji said.
"I'll be there in five minutes."
Optimus sighed as he watched Axel leave. They'd had a long discussion about what Koji could and could not do while on earth. It was more than he could do on Cybertron but Koji would still try to get around it or just ignore it. Optimus sighed again. In another year he'd have to find away to make sure Koji was safe without the security detail. With any luck they would be able to catch Scourge before Koji's eighteenth birthday. Koji had already let it be known that he wouldn't be using a security detail after he legally became an adult.
"Optimus? The bill from last night came," T-Ai said.
"Ok. I'll take it now," he said with a sigh. This was not something he was looking forward too.
"Alright."
The bill appeared on his desk and he reluctantly looked at the total. "HOW DID HE SPEND THAT MUCH AT ONE NIGHT CLUB!"
"You're kidding, Koji spent that much last night?" Sideburn questioned.
"He did. I came in as Optimus was having one of his fits. And that's not even the best part," Prowl said to his laughing brothers.
"What else?" X-brawn asked.
"He didn't just spend that at the night club. He went somewhere else too."
"Where else?" T-Ai asked a little annoyed Koji hadn't just gone to the club like he said he had.
"He went to a tattoo parlor," Optimus said behind them. They all immediately shut up and looked rather scared for their lives.
"And you want to know something else? Koji hasn't been in school since fifth period," Optimus said in a fake cheery voice.
They cringed. They knew Optimus loved Koji like he would a real son but there were limits to how far he could push Optimus and apparently Koji had pushed Optimus too far.
AN: R&R please. school is picking up and i've volunteered to do a lot of stuff for school so updates will take a little longer than usual. Also I will be going camping with my aunt and uncle this weekend and even though I could remain at home with my parents, I have choosen to go due to the fact that my parents intend to make this weekend their fourth or fifth Honeymoon and i really don't like hearing creaking noises through the walls. Before I go I might post another chapter if I get enough reviews (hint hint)
