"Sah...kay...!" Itachi stumbled towards his younger brother, smiling widely. Sasuke grinned tiredly, wrapping his big brother in a hug. "Hey, nii-san. How are they treating you here?" Itachi froze for a moment, then took a deep breath. He was afraid Sasuke would be mad that someone had touched him in that place, but he was more afraid of Mida and what he might do. "Lay...dee...touch...me...dow...there..." Sasuke immediately tensed up. He couldn't possibly be saying...no, that was insane. "What, do you mean by that, 'Tachi? Where did this lady touch you?" Itachi glanced at Mida fearfully, then pointed to his crotch. "...there..." Before Sasuke could ask anymore questions, Itachi burst into tears. He didn't understand what had happened to him, he didn't understand why it made him feel so icky, all he knew was that he hated it here and wanted to go home. Sasuke, meanwhile, wanted to vomit. It sounded like someone had molested his vulnerable brother, in a place that was supposed to watch him and make sure he was safe. "Come with me, 'Tachi. I'm going to call the police, okay? And I want you to tell them what happened to you, when the lady... touched you. Can you do that for me? Can you tell them exactly what she did?" Itachi sniffled, clinging to his brother's arm, terrified. "...y-yeh..."

Jiraiya smiled at the teen in front of him, trying to put him at ease. The head doctor, Tsunade, had explained that Itachi was severely brain damaged, with a mental age of three or four years, and it would be best to treat him like a child. She had been shocked when some kid came barging into her office with a patient in tow, claiming that someone at the hospital had taken advantage of his brother's disability. After asking Itachi some questions, Tsunade had to admit that he was displaying the behavior of a rape victim, and called the police. She had Itachi and Sasuke wait in her office, and gave Itachi a plushie to hold while he talked to the authorities. At the moment, she was standing outside her office window with Sasuke, who was smiling reassuringly at his brother through the glass. "Hey, buddy. My name's Jiraiya, okay? Can you tell me your name?" Jiraiya spoke loudly and slowly, which would have seriously annoyed Sasuke if he could hear. His brother wasn't deaf. "Eee...tah...chi..." "Itachi?" "Yeh." "Okay, Itachi. Do you want to tell me what happened to you?" When Itachi just stared at him blankly, Jiraiya realized that he needed to be more specific. "You told your brother that a lady touched you 'down there'. Can you tell me where that is, exactly?" Itachi whimpered, nervous. Would this man be mad at him if he told? Mida said he'd get in lots of trouble if anyone found out about the game. ("You were very bad, Itachi. Very bad. If you tell anyone, they'll yell at you and spank you, because you shouldn't have played that game." "But...you...tol...me...to..." "It was still very wrong of you. Do you understand? You did a bad thing." "I...sorr...ee...") Eventually, Itachi worked up the courage to confide in the police officer. "Be...tween...legs..." Jiraiya sighed heavily. There wasn't much he could do here-it was obvious that Itachi had been sexually assaulted in some way, but the only evidence they had was the word of a brain damaged young man, who couldn't tell them much anyway.
