Otenba was nervous, someone swiped the tape about her mom. No.........she thought as she franticly seached over and over, nobody can ever watch that tape! Nobody!
"Does anybody know where THE TAPE is?!?!?" Otenba yelled as she seached through a box.
"No, but I think Mac borrowed a tape, I'm not sure which one though..." Tenkyuu replied.
"Waddya mean you're not sure which one he borrowed?" Otenba said, holding back anger.
"Well.....he asked me what the label said.." Tenkyuu started.
"And?"
"It read 'Hikarimono's Last Days' I guess he must've...uh oh.....opps...." Tenkyuu said, thinking back more closely.
Otenba turned around and ran to find Mac. If he watched that scene with the bookcase...she thought as she walked through the halls, angry enough to strike fear into beast and being alike, he's gonna get it. When Otenba found Mac, the tape was over, and he had sucked up the tears. Otenba went to the VCR, ejected the tape, stomped over to Mac, waved the tape in his face and asked in rage, "How much of this did you watch?"
".......all of it....." Mac answered in a small voice.
Otenba went straight through the roof.
"HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT PRYING INTO MY LIFE LIKE THE NOSY, LOW CREATURE I KNOW YOU'RE NOT?!?!?!?!?!" Otenba yelled in pure, explosive rage.
That was it, if Otenba could play this game, so could Mac.
"WELL EXUSE ME!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO STRIKE A NERVE!! AND ANOTHER THING, HOW COME YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THE MEAN, YELLING, JERKY, RAGE-CRAZED, TYRANT-LIKE CONTORL FREAK I KNOW YOU'RE NOT?!?!?!?!?!?!" Mac screamed in more anger.
Otenba gasped, started to cry, and said "I'm sorry Mac, it's just that...."
"Yeah, well you should be! You can't go waltzing in here and get all mad at a guy who likes you and wants to find out more about you! It's not fair to him!" Bloo said, stepping into somthing that wasn't his buisness, at all.
Otenba turned around and ran, her best friends had just violated her past and yelled at her, and where she was headed was where nobody could find her, and it would be all better.
"Otenba, wait!" Mac said almost running after her.
"Mac, look, a girl who yells at her buddies over nothing is not worth the time." Bloo said reassuringly.
Later.
Mac couldn't sleep that night. Not after what happened at Foster's. He felt so guilty ... too guilty. Why did I watch that tape? Why couldn't I have just asked Otenba herself? Or didn't ask at all? Mac asked himself over and over again. It hit him: I was too curious.
He couldn't stand himself at this point and he started crying and beating himself up. Stupid! You're stupid! Otenba hates you! And now you hate youself! Stupid Mac! Stupid! Somthing in Mac's head kept yelling at him. And Mac was bleeding, brused, crying, sweaty, tired, and had ripped his pajamas. Slowly and painfully, Mac went into a cold, dreamless sleep.
Morning.
Terrence noticed his brother's strange condition at breakfast. Now, usually he could care less about Mac, but this morning...Mac didn't look quite right, like he had been assaulted in his sleep. So, Terrence thought, let's approach this like I usually do.
"Hey Mr. Destucto, what the heck happened to you?" Terrence said in his usual bully tone.
"I fell out of bed." Mac said in a distant voice.
He's lying, Terrence thought, he's beaten up too much to just had fallen outta bed.
Now, recently, Terrence had watched a marathon on these situiations, and it definatly sounds cheap, so he was a little less thick this morning, so he told himself not to lose his cool.
"You sure? 'Cause you look a little more hurt...." Terrence said.
"I fell out of bed." Mac repeated, a little more annoyed.
Terrence forgot about keeping his cool and almost automatically held him up by his shirt, and yelled "I KNOW YOU'RE LYING! TELL ME THE TRUTH!!!!!"
Mac stared at his worried-into-rage brother. What was he going to say?
"No, but I think Mac borrowed a tape, I'm not sure which one though..." Tenkyuu replied.
"Waddya mean you're not sure which one he borrowed?" Otenba said, holding back anger.
