After breakfast, Seto decided it was discussion time. He put his tray on the floor and Yami did the same thing to Mokuba's.
"Okay kiddo, now I know you don't want to do this but I really think it'd be better if you told us what exactly happened between you and Noah. I have a partial idea but we can't help you if we don't know what happened."
Mokuba sighed he didn't want to do this. "S-Seto?"
"What?"
"C-can I s-snuggled n-next t-to y-you."
"Yes, but I still want you to tell us what happened."
Mokuba snuggled up closer to Seto then reached back for his baby dragon toy.
Yami started to hand it to him. "Is this what you want?"
Mokuba nodded. "T-thanks, Y-Yami."
"No problem kiddo."
"Okay, now tell us what happened." Seto told him placing his arm around his shoulder.
"H-he t-told m-me t-to b-bring h-him s-some h-huck-huckle b-berries. T-Then I s-set t-them on t-the t-table, b-but b-before I c-could l-leave N-Noah g-grabbed m-my arm. H-he s-said w-we s-should g-go s-some w-where m-more p-private. N-Noah p-put t-the h-huck-huckle b-berries I-in m-my h-hand t-then h-he t-took m-me t-to h-his b-bed r-r-room. O-Once t-there h-he t-told m-me t-to s-sit d-down on t-the b-bed and s-stay t-there. I t-tried n-not t-to c-cry I k-knew t-that w-would g-get m-me I-in t-to t-trouble. I'd b-been r-regretting I-it s-since N-Noah s-said h-he w-wanted t-to b-be a…alone w-with m-me. I d-didn't k-know w-what N-Noah t-truly w-wanted t-to d-do b-but I k-knew I w-wasn't g-going t-to l-like I-it. N-Noah w-walked over a-and t-took o-off m-my s-shirt. T-Then h-he un-und-did m-my p-pants a-and l-laid m-me down a-and p-put a-and s-set t-the b-berry b-bowl d-down on t-the b-bed. T-Then h-he s-showed m-me t-the huckle b-berry a-and p-put I-it o-on m-my l-lips. T-Then h-he s-started t-to k-kiss m-me t-taking the b-berry and e-eating it. T-Then h-he p-put a h-huck-huckle b-berry on e-each o-of m-my…" Mokuba stopped but couldn't think of what they were called. So he lifted his shirt. "H-He p-put o-one on e-each of t-these." He said pointing to his nipples.
"They're called nipples, kid. We'll discuss more about body parts later on." Seto said.
Mokuba nodded and snuggled in more holding his dragon. Seto kept his arm around the kid tightly to help reassure him he was safe.
"T-Then h-he'd b-bite d-down a-and t-then l-licked t-the j-juices f-from the b-berry. T-Then h-he d-did t-the s-same t-thing o-on t-the other s-side. T-Then h-he s-started t-to r-rub m-me b-between m-my l-legs h-hard and f-fast, w-while k-kissing a...along m-my c-cheek d-down a-and s-started t-to b-bite m-my e-ear. H-he s-said t-that b-because I p-protested a-and c-chose t-to s-speak I-it m-meant th-that I w-wanted I-it a-as m-much a-as h-he d-did. I-it's n-not t-true I-is it S-Seto?"
"No, no sweetheart it's not." Seto said. "Now what happened next?"
"I t-tried t-to g-get away t-to g-get N-Noah t-to r-release m-me. B-But h-he c-continued a-and s-said I j-just n-needed a l-little en-en-c-courage m-ment. A-All I t-thought w-was I n-needed f-for h-him to l-let m-me g-go. I h-hated w-what N-Noah w-was d-doing to m-me. B-but m-my b-body w-was en-enjoying I-it, I-I l-looked f-for a-a w-way to m-make h-him s-stop. F-Finally, I g-grabbed t-the b-berry b-bowl and h-hit N-Noah I-in t-the h-head w-with I-it. It s-scattered t-the b-berries e-every w-where a-and p-put h-his h-hand t-to h-his h-head and I d-decided to h-hit h-him again s-so t-that N-Noah w-would m-move. I-It w-worked, h-he m-moved t-to t-the s-side e-enough f-for m-me t-to g-grab m-my s-shirt a-and t-take off. I d-didn't w-want t-to b-be t-there S-Seto honest."
"Shh… it's alright. I believe you it wasn't your fault it was his, all his." Seto said, lightly rocking him. "I'm very proud of you kiddo you did very good!" Seto told him.
Mokuba was glad to know he did a good thing.
"Mokuba, is that why you've never told Seto before? Were you afraid he wouldn't believe you?" Yami asked.
Mokuba looked down and lightly nodded.
Seto kissed his head. "Of course I'd believe you kiddo. I know you wouldn't make something like this up, especially now. But I would have believed you then too. What he did was wrong Mokuba, you have no blame in this."
"Well I guess this explains his reaction when you handed him that fruit Seto." Yami said.
"Yeah it does."
"S-Seto?"
"What wrong kiddo?"
"Why-why did it seem l-like I-I w-was e-enjoying w-what N-Noah w-was d-doing t-to m-me w-when I w-wasn't?"
Seto froze and looked at Yami who was also pale. They hadn't realized the kid was too young to understand what was happening and had no one who gave a damn enough about him to ever explain things like that to him. They now realized they'd have to be the ones to tell and until that moment, they hadn't realized it.
"No, no kiddo, it doesn't. Your body, well even though you hated it, it sometimes has a mind of its own and doesn't like listening to your brain. It's just something natural that happens in situations like that sometimes. We'll discuss this in more detail some other time. I promise we'll give you more details later." 'Much later if I can get out of it, but I know I'm going to have to eventually. Damn you Noah!'
"Mokuba tell us what happened after that." Yami told him.
"I w-was afraid t-that h-he w-would c-catch m-me, or I-I'd h-have c-come t-to y-you S-Seto."
"I wish you had kiddo. I wouldn't have let him near you again! Now I want you to tell us the rest of what happened, it'll make you feel better to tell us and it'll help us by understanding, all right." Seto asked.
Mokuba sighed, nodded his head, snuggled closer and clutched his toy tightly as well as Seto before continuing. "A-After m-my c-chores were d-done. I d-did o-one I-I'd b-been a-avoiding, painting the barn. I w-was s-so t-thankful a-at n-not h-having to p-put up w-with Noah at the t-time I d-didn't n-noticed I-it w-was past lunch. T-then N-Noah s-showed u-up a-and h-he w-was rubbing himself b-between his l-legs. I-I s-started t-to b-back u-up a-and he a-again s-said I w-wanted t-to do w-what e-ever it w-was h-he was wanting t-to d-do t-to. H-he s-said h-he didn't k-know w-why I-I w-was fighting h-him t-that I-it w-was w-what w-we both wanted."
"What did you tell him?" Yami asked.
"N-nothing. I d-dropped the b-brush and ran, but Noah c-caught m-me. H-He t-then d-dragged m-me I-into the b-barn. He s-shut the d-door and d-dragged m-me t-to a-an e-empty s-stall. H-he t-told m-me t-to take off m-my clothes a-and g-go I-in t-the s-stall a-and lie d-down."
"Did you?" Yami asked.
Mokuba glared at him, Yami gave a faint snicker.
"What's so funny?" Seto asked.
"The way he glared at me, for a moment I thought it was you. You've been around this kid way too long, Seto. He's started to pick up your bad habits."
Seto just shook his head. "Don't listen to him kiddo. Just finish."
"N-No I- d-didn't w-want t-to. I d-didn't c-care how b-badly he b-beat m-me I w-wasn't g-going t-to d-do it!"
"Good, you did the right thing." Yami told him.
Mokuba smiled a little, Yami's praise was beginning to make him just as happy as Seto's or Ryo's.
"H-He s-said I-if I d-didn't h-he's u-use h-his n-new b-birthday p-present on m-me. I-It w-was a n-new t-toy h-he g-got."
"The same one he mentioned when we met?" Yami asked.
Mokuba nodded. "I-it's a l-long s-s-stick t-thing w-with s-sharp m-metal t-tips a-at it's s-several t-tails. I-I t-tried t-to g-get p-past h-him b-but h-he tripped m-me and brought I-it d-down o-on m-my b-back h-he s-said s-sixteen t-times m-making s-sure t-the l-last s-strike w-was the h-hardest. H-he s-said it-it w-was m-more f-fun to s-see s-someone t-take h-his b-birthday l-licks for h-him. H-h s-said s-someone s-should o-officially r-receive h-his b-birthday s-spanking a-and it-it w-wasn't g-going to be h-him. H-he g-got u-up and s-set t-the t-thing d-down a-and s-said h-he c-could j-just s-strip m-me b-but t-that would t-take a-away all h-his f-fun. H-h p-pulled m-me up a-and t-threw m-me a-against the wall. H-he s-said h-he k-knew I-I'd r-run s-so h-he h-had e-everything r-ready. H-He p-pinned m-me to t-the w-wall. He g-got down on his k-knees and put h-his w-weight against m-me t-then m-move h-his hands a-along m-my b-body. T-then h-he s-started to n-nibble at m-my neck a-and b-bit down on it-it. I c-couldn't t-think o-of a-any o-of t-the s-self-defense m-moves Ryo t-taught m-me m-my m-mind was a b-blank. T-Then h-he s-started to kiss m-me a-and r-rub m-me t-there, t-then s-stuck h-his t-tongue in-in m-my m-mouth. While h-he s-squeezed m-me I c-could t-think o-of w-what t-to do. T-Then he unbuttoned-unbuttoned m-my pants. I-I t-tried to try to kick, but Noah m-moved c-closer p-pinning m-my legs to the w-wall. I k-kept pushing b-but h-he w-was t-to h-heavy. He t-then p-put h-his h-hand in-in m-my p-pants a-and…"
"It's okay kiddo. We get the picture. How did you get away?"
"W-when h-he tried to remove m-my pants I k-knew if-if h-he g-got t-them off it'd be too late and Noah would h-have his w-way with m-me. S-so as h-his tongue touched the r-roof of m-my mouth, I b-bit down on it. T-then I r-remembered Ryo's t-telling m-me if I c-couldn't u-use any of the m-moves, he t-taught m-me t-that t-the best defense w-was to kick between t-the legs and I-I d-did t-then r-ran and r-remembered t-to l-lock the b-barn d-door. H-he s-started b-banging o-on t-the door s-so I r-ran t-to you."
Seto by now was ready to blow his top!
"Mokuba."
"Yes." Mokuba asked, looking up at Seto.
"The room right across the hall has a couple of big windows that you can look out of. Why don't you go look out of them while Yami and I talk; I have a few things to discuss with him."
"Can I?"
"Of course you can, now run along. But stay in that room or come back in here. I don't need you getting lost. This place is big and until you know your way around it, I want you to stay close."
"Okay b-big brother." Mokuba said climbing over Seto.
"Mokuba wait, you forgot your baby dragon." Yami told him.
"W-wouldn't w-want to l-lose him." Mokuba said. "C-can I g-go now?"
"Yes, you run along." Seto told him.
Once Mokuba was in the other room Yami looked at Seto and said, "Seto you can't avoid telling him forever. The kid has the right to know."
"What am I supposed to tell him that Noah was planning on raping him and then explain to him what that means? I'm not sure I'm up for doing that. Are you?"
"Well I understand the problem, I'm just not sure how we explain to him enough to make him understand. A part of me knows he needs to know, but another part of me thinks he's better off not knowing."
