"Well I guess that explains a little on what turned Noah into the monster he is." Yami said.
"That's no excuse for trying to take it out on little Mokuba. Just because that bastard raped him is no reason he should try to do the same thing to Mokuba." Seto said.
"That's true. However I have read in a book that it's not unusual for them to turn around and do it to others."
"But why Mokuba? He has a sister? Not that I'd wish that on anyone." Seto said.
"Perhaps it was he felt Mokuba was an easier target and one that wouldn't attract attention from his mother. But it is strange if he did it more than once, why did Noah not protest or tell his mother?" Yami wondered.
"N-Noah d-did tell her."
"What?" Seto asked.
"N-Noah d-did tell her. S-she s-said he was m-making it up."
"That explains why he didn't tell you what Noah was doing to him, Seto. That's the reason when we asked if he was afraid you wouldn't believe him he said yes. Noah told his mother what that man was doing to him…"
"So, he assumed that because when Noah told and he wasn't believed that when it came to telling someone what happened he wouldn't be believed. I still wish you had told me Mokuba. I understand now why you didn't. You didn't think I'd believe you. Trust me, little one I would have believed you!" Seto said, squeezing him and kissing his head.
"From what I've seen of Noah's mother I can't believe she didn't."
"Mokuba did this happen more than once?" Seto asked.
Mokuba nodded. "O-over a y-year."
"Did he ever touch you?" Yami asked.
Mokuba looked down, not answering.
"Mokuba answer Yami's question."
"H-He did l-like Noah. Just t-touched and r-rubbed me. N-Noah s-sometimes c-complained that h-he'd d-do him b-but not m-me. H-he t-told him it w-was because I w-was too l-little. B-but Noah s-said he d-did h-him when he w-was my age."
"What did the man say to that?"
"T-the l-last time h-he said he w-would c-cut his time with Noah s-short. That h-he would try me."
"So, why didn't he?" Yami asked.
"N-Noah k-kept arguing t-that he should only d-do me. T-The man got angry. He y-yelled at Noah for arguing with him. He t-told me if I w-was missing when he came back I'd b-be in trouble. I s-saw a l-little of w-what he w-was doing to Noah but I didn't unders-stand it or like it so I r-ran to m-my room. L-later my s-stepmother came home."
"What did she do?" Seto asked.
"I d-don't know. I w-was in my room. I only k-knew she was home b-because I had m-my door open. I c-closed it w-when I heard her. A f-few minutes later I h-heard the d-door upstairs open. I h-hid. I w-was afraid he w-was coming for me. W-when he f-found m-me h-he unz-zipped his pants."
"What happened?" Yami asked. "He didn't make you do anything did he?"
Mokuba shook his head. "N-No, m-my stepmother c-called then and h-he s-said he'd b-be back an-nother t-time."
Seto sighed then he looked around. "Why don't you go over and do the pony rides? Yami and I will watch."
Mokuba nodded and got up and ran to get into line.
"Seto, you're thinking of something, what is it?" Yami asked.
"I just find it strange that from what we've seen in Noah's mother that she wouldn't believe Noah when he tells her something."
"You think she knew what the man was doing to him?"
"If not she was either blind, stupid or just didn't want to see it."
"It does seem strange that she'd allow this man to continue to come around after what Noah said."
"I was thinking about that too."
"What did you come up with?"
"That group that she belongs to. It's very exclusive and from what I've heard, extremely hard to get into. Her family was shunned because her husband was killed with my father…sorry our father."
"It's all right, Seto. I still have trouble adjusting to that. What does her family being shunned have to do with anything?"
"Well, think about it. Her family being shunned, this club is very exclusive. So, how did someone like that get into this exclusive club?"
"Now that you mention it I have heard rumors about that club, you have to know someone and even then it's extremely difficult to pass the test to get in. It is curious how she got in. You don't think that she gave Noah to this man to get into that club do you?"
"You have a better explanation? She didn't strike me as the type to just ignore Noah when he tells her something. Especially if it went on as long as Mokuba said it did."
"But why, Noah? Why not Mokuba? Not that I'd want the kid to go through it but it just seemed like they didn't care what happened to him. So, why did she allow Noah, instead of forcing Mokuba?" Yami asked.
"We don't know that's what happened, but how else is it explained? As for Mokuba, that is an interesting question. My question is how is it that this man is so connected to that club to get her in? She's also very high up in this club according to that necklace she wears. Maybe this man insisted on Noah in exchange for getting her into this club. It's the only reason I can think of."
"I can't believe she'd sell her son just to get into this stupid club."
"Yami, this is the same bitch that beat Mokuba for playing with toys."
Before Yami could respond, Mokuba came running up.
"Did you have fun, kiddo?"
Mokuba nodded.
"Come on, let's go." Seto said, taking Mokuba's hand.
They then went and they both much to their displeasure agreed to ride Mokuba's favorite ride with him. Then they went to a show where if you bought the balloons and felt like it you could throw it at the performers. Seto and Yami not only let Mokuba do it, but encouraged him to do it. Mokuba even gave each of them a balloon to do it. They had skipped it before due to other shows at the same time. Then Mokuba wanted to see an underground show. They thought it was odd being in a place called the mud pit. It turned out there was a good reason to skip it the first time. It was a mud show. They sometimes threw mud and it got on the audience. Seto and Yami just happened that they were far enough away that they avoided getting only a small spot of mud on them.

"Hello Birds nest."
"Oh hi, Aunt Anna." Ren said.
"Birds nest?" Maura questioned.
"My aunt thinks it's cute. Even though we hate it. My name's Ren so my aunt thinks of the bird and Nydia's name means nest so she likes to put them together."
"Oh, better than mine it means bitter."
"I can see how I wouldn't tell anyone." Nydia said.
"Your father wants to see you. And you Nydia, your mother wants to see you."
"Okay. Nydia, why don't you take Maura and help her find her family while I see what my father wants." Ren said.
"Okay, come on." Nydia said.

After the show, Seto and Yami with Mokuba holding their hands walked around and found a dartboard with balloons on it. As they were waiting their turn Maura showed up.
"Hi." Maura said.
"Maura I thought you were playing with your new friends." Yami said.
"I was but then they had to leave."
"Well you're just in time to see me beat Seto."
"Oh you think you can beat me do you?"
Yami smirked, "Yes as a matter of fact I do."
"Then bring it on."
You get five throws. Yami threw it and hit dead center once and then hit the outside center once, then one notch outside center. The last two were well outside. He hit all but two balloons.
"That was very good." The man said. "Now who gets the prize?" He asked, looking at Mokuba and Maura.
"Maura, you chose this round then next game Mokuba gets to choose."
"Okay, big brother. I want the horse."
"Excellent. Here you are, young lady."
Maura took it and hugged it. "Thanks big brother."
Seto didn't like it but didn't argue. His turn came up and he hit dead center twice and two outside and one on the way outside. He got all the balloons.
"That's excellent young man. So little one, what do you want?"
Mokuba looked and pointed. "I w-want t-the u-unic-corn."
The man took it off the shelf and handed it to him.
They moved on and played several other games. Seto did against his better judgment and Yami's nagging gave a prize to Maura. They played 6 games. They alternated, so that each kid got a prize.
Then they came upon a new game of cards. Seto had seen Duel Monsters played by the knights but never really played. First, he rarely had time and second Yami refused to play with him and no one else he ever got to play with him would actually play. They'd start out but always let him win. Being that he was the king, they didn't want to risk angering him if he lost.
Being that he rarely played, he did pretty good. He beat 6 opponents, despite the man who ran the post's objections he quit. Yami had gotten them drinks and fries while Seto played. Seto came down and looked over at all the items there. He was allowed 6 since that's the number of opponents he beat. He chose two necklaces that connect, one a Dark Magician Girl and gave it to Maura. Then the one that connected it was a Dark Magician Knight and much to his surprise gave it to Yami.
Then a Blue-eyes Shining Dragon plushie for Mokuba.
A poster of Chocolate Magician Girl for Maura.
Then got a star bracelet that was divided in half one half for Maura and the other half to Mokuba.
Then Maura picked out an Apple Magician poster.
Finally Mokuba got a blue-eyes white dragon poster.

A/N: The shows mentioned above may sound extremely strange but they are real shows. I went to Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas. It didn't take as long to get there from where I live in a town between Dallas and Fort Worth. But everything fun to do cost extra over and above the about 20 bucks to get in! Everything else was $2-5 more to do. The shows were free but then they begged for money afterward.
2024: I updated and changed the prizes that were given out. Blue- eyes shining dragon was from Pyramid of Light movie and Chocolate and Apple Magician Girls were from the Dark Side of Dimensions movie. None of them are from the main series.
