Mr. Hermàn then started to lead Mokuba away. Mokuba was shaking with fear. He didn't want to do anything with this man. He remembered a little of what all he did to Noah and he knew what all Noah did to him and a little on what he was planning to do. The last thing he wanted was this man to touch him!

Mokuba remembered what happened in the past whenever he was in trouble. He gripped his necklace tightly. 'Big brother, help me, please!' Mokuba could only hope it would work. Yeah he could fight him but they were in public and technically the man wasn't doing anything to him. If anyone saw what would they think? The only thing Mokuba could think of was they'd think he was picking on an old man. Though few knew he was related to Seto and Yami he didn't want to take the chance. Plus he didn't know what the man was capable of. He also had his doubts on whether or not if this man were to claim that he was his son or grandson or who knows what else, that he'd be able to speak up and tell different. With his stuttering, he had some major doubts on it and whether anyone would believe him.

Yami froze hearing Mokuba cry out. He started looking around and panicked when he didn't see him.

Seto was confused as to what the problem was. Then he too started to look to see what Yami's problem was. His eyes went wide realizing Mokuba was gone! "How did you know he was missing?"

"He can call me from his necklace. I'm not sure how or why but I can hear him call out."

"Can you find him?"

"We don't have time for the locator spell, we'll just have to split up and look for him." Yami said taking off.

"Some all powerful wizard he turned out to be." Seto said, shaking his head and taking off in the opposite direction.

Yami looked around and spotted a man holding Mokuba tightly. He didn't know him but he knew he must mean trouble if he had Mokuba. He ran over and stopped in front of them. Mokuba took no notice of the person cause his head was down.

"Where are you taking him?" Yami asked.

Hearing a beloved voice Mokuba's head snapped up and he smiled brightly wishing this man would release him so that Yami could hold him.

"He's my grandson and he's being bad. I was going to take him home."

Well that was what Mokuba thought he'd say.

"Really. That's funny because he belongs to me. If you look around his neck, you will see a baby dragon necklace it connects to mine. So if you'd be so kind as to remove your hands from my little brother I'd appreciate it." Yami said. 'If you don't I've learned a few new tricks on teleporting that I can easily do. This time without the risk or fear of putting Mokuba in danger.'

"My apologies, my eyesight is not so good and he didn't give a word of protest so I assumed I was correct. Can the child speak?"

Yami wasn't entirely buying it. He couldn't believe Mokuba would willingly go with this man. But then again he couldn't be sure. After all those years with Noah and his family beating on him and forcing him to do as they pleased, he had often wondered if Mokuba would fight back against someone new. Though he hoped, he would after hearing how he fought Noah. But then he also remembered after Noah forced Mokuba into oral sex how Noah had told him Mokuba didn't bother to fight back. That actually worried Yami a little. Now he would have to fight even harder with Seto to let Mokuba take judo lessons with Maura. He still hadn't found an instructor yet but he'd find one eventually.

"Yes and I am surprised he didn't protest."

Mokuba swallowed and wished he could tell him he did protest and he did fight. But the truth was he was too frightened to do much of anything. He lowered his head away from Yami afraid he'd be angry with him for not fighting back.

Mr. Hermàn, unlike Noah, wasn't going to fight and protest over Mokuba. He simply pushed the child forward. My apologies. I didn't realize he wasn't my grandson. Well I'll be leaving now. My wife BB will be angry at me for being so late." Mr. Hermàn said making a quick exit, which he was only slowed down by his cane.

The summer Noah turned 13 Mr. Hermàn was no longer called upon to baby-sit. Ivera had finally been convinced by Noah to allow him to stay home alone or with JJ. She didn't like it but she also knew that JJ understood the consequences of not telling her if something happened to Noah. They didn't have a phone though she would love to have one. She couldn't afford to have one. She was a seamstress that worked from home and it didn't pay enough. So, Mr. Hermàn had to find a way to relieve himself. He had tried to catch JJ but he was too smart for him and refused to go near him. Noah of course no longer having the man in his house and not having to listen to him refused to allow the man to touch him again. He met BB in town once and so after a short month dating period they were married. Though she was a nagging bitch in his opinion he put up with her since no one else wanted her or him.

Yami was satisfied when the man left and bent down. "Why didn't you fight back? Why did you run off?"

Mokuba sniffed and said, "Y-you and s-Seto w-were f-fighting again. Y-you w-wouldn't s-stop. T-this w-was s-suppose to b-be a f-fun d-day b-but all y-your d-doing is arguing!"

Yami sighed. "I'm sorry, I promise Seto and I won't fight anymore."

Mokuba shook his no in disbelief.

Yami sighed he knew why the kid was shaking his head. "Fine, I promise we won't fight that much in front of you. Especially when we're supposed to be playing with you. Now answer my first question. Why didn't you fight back?"

At that, Mokuba started crying even more.

Yami picked the kid up and rocked him a little. "It's all right sweetheart it's okay. You're not in trouble. You can tell me later." Yami decided he'd better locate Seto before he went mad.

"B-big brother?"

"What is it Mokuba?"

"W-will you t-tighten your g-grip on me?"

Yami thought that was an odd request. He had a fairly tight hold on him already. The way Mokuba squirmed a little and tightened his grip on his shirt he tightened his around his waist. He figured it was just his way of wanting more comfort.

Finally, Yami spots him. "Seto!"

Seto turned and ran over as Yami, much to Mokuba's displeasure, put him down. Yami turned the kid around and his arms went up immediately when he saw Seto. Seto scooped the child up into his arms and squeezed him tight. "Where have you been?"

"He ran off because of our fighting. I promised him we wouldn't fight around him as much." Yami told him.

"I'm sorry, Mokuba. I am so sorry! We will keep that promise. But if we don't…" Seto smiled. "You're welcome to kick us."

"Seto!" Yami said.

"Well if it'll get our attention back on to him rather than fighting what do you suggest?"

"You're right. Come on, let's sit down and talk."

Seto nodded and sat down pulling Mokuba down despite his protest and set him on his lap.

"I found him walking away with some weird looking old man. I don't understand it though. Mokuba could have easily broken away from this man and gotten away before the man could even lay a finger on him. But even though the man had a tight grip on his arm, he wasn't fighting back. I'm afraid Noah may have broken his spirit to the point that he refuses to fight back anymore Seto."

"But that doesn't make sense. Maura said that Mokuba was fighting back against Leichter when he tried to force them to go with him."

Yami thought about that. "MMM…Yes you're right. Then I'm totally confused."

"Mokuba, why didn't you fight back?" Seto asked.

"I w-was s-scared."

"Of what?"

"Of w-what he m-might d-do f-for r-revenge."

Seto and Yami blinked at that.

"You know him?" Yami asked.

"I d-don't remember h-his n-name b-but…"

"But what?" Seto asked.

"B-but he u-use t-to r-rape…"

"He raped you!" Seto asked, cutting him off.

"Seto let him finish. Besides, if he had he'd have known what Noah was going to do." Then a thought struck him. "Mokuba did this man rape Noah?"

Mokuba nodded.

"Tell us what happened."

Mokuba sighed and began to tell everything he remembered.
