Disclaimer: I don't own anything

AN: As far as Koji's girlfriend goes if you've read any of my other stories you ought to have seen this coming. I hate Real Character/OC romances (except for Koji's parents in my stories).

BTW I will not be camping any time in the foreseeable future. And it only took me two nights sleeping on the hard, cold ground to figure it out. Plus the extremely poisonous spiders that like to crawl into the cup I was trying to drink out of helped to. Did any of you know that the Granddaddy Long Leg is the most poisonous spider in the world and if you eat it you die. Makes you think twice about sleeping with your mouth open or not checking your cup before you take a sip. Plus that water in the showers smelled like rotten eggs.

Chapter 7

Koji looked at the door in front of him and his schedule then back again. Seventh period, Child Development/ Aide Daycare. Yup he was in the right place, though he wondered who at the base wanted him to learn how to take care of babies. 'God I hope T-Ai's not trying to give me a hint' he thought. They'd been dating since she got a human body that she could download her self into when she didn't need to be one with the mainframe but he wasn't sure she was his "One" yet. He had only started seeing her in romantical terms two years ago. Then again it hadn't taken his parents that long. His father and mother had met at a bar near where his father's latest dig had been. After his mother had drunk his father under the table and they got thrown in jail, in the same cell, for drunkenness in public the two fell head over heels for each other. His father had claimed that he'd fallen for the young Colonel right after the hangover wore off and the conversation they'd had while waiting for either his colleagues to come post bail or for her troops to launch an assult on the prison guards had only further convinced the man.

'Damnit' he thought. While he'd been lost in the past he had missed the warning bell and was now late.

"So you're my new aide. Koji, right?" the daycare lady asked. She didn't even wait for a response. "I'm Mrs. Farr. Your job is to take care of the toddlers. It's easy you just have to keep them from running off, eating small objects, or having organized warfare with the infants. Can you handle that?"

"Um, I don't have to change diapers do I?" Koji asked.

"No. Not until later when I teach you how to do it properly." She point at five children. "Their names are Alice, Cameo, Sakura, Mato, and Yama. They're the children of some of our younger teachers".

"Ok. How bad is their organized warfare?" Koji wondered aloud.

"You'll see," she said before walking away.

Koji looked down at the five sets of expectant eyes staring at him. "If you're good for me I'll teach you how to wage war on the football players and cheerleaders." They didn't make a peep all period.

After a particularly rough Trigonometry class Koji realized he'd left his book bag in the daycare. So after calling Axel to let him know he'd be a little late meeting him and assure him that he wasn't going to pull a vanishing act, Koji headed for the daycare.

"See ya tomorrow, Hao," he heard Mrs. Farr say. Then he saw Saka walk out of the daycare carrying Yama.

They both stood frozen staring at each other for a few minutes before Mrs. Farr stepped out. "Oh Koji, you forgot your bag," she said walking back into the room to retrieve it. She didn't seem to notice the tension between the men. Yama did though.

"Daddy no like Koko?" he asked using the nickname the children had given Koji since they couldn't pronounce his real name properly. His son's voice startled Saka out of his staring match.

"You have a son?" Koji asked not as surprised as he should have been. He'd realized it subconsciously when he'd first seen Yama. Yama had Hao's eyes and Misa's face.

"Yes," Hao said.

"Koji, here's your bag," Mrs. Farr said coming back out.

"Thanks," Koji said, still not taking his eyes off Saka. He took the bag and walked past Saka heading toward student pick up, even though his every instinct told him to stay and not take his eyes off his enemy.

"Bye Koko," Yama said waving. Koji stopped and look back at the kid. His stepbrother. The realization almost knocked thewind out of him. But it was true. As far as the legal records showed he was still considered Misa's stepson, therefore Yama's stepbrother.

"Koji are you alright?" Axel asked.

"Yeah. Just take to the base ok?" Koji said tiredly.

"Alright."

T-Ai was worried. She also felt a little guilty. She hadn't checked the names of the teachers or run a background check on them. With all the problems on Cybertron with the Decepticons trying to increase their numbers and attacking research centers she'd forgotten. Worry over Scourge had caused Optimus to forget as well. He'd been more upset that he'd been proven right about Scourge. The only reason Scourge would be raiding research facilities would be that he was looking for Koji.

Now she'd gotten a chance to look over Koji's teachers she found something that distressed her greatly and would more than likely piss Optimus off royally.

Fifth Period; Global Politics; Saka, Hao

"Optimus? I need you to come here," she said.

R&R. After the past two nights I need it. Sweating and freezing at the same time is not a pleasant experience.
