Every Other Girl In The World (Akatsuki Love Story)

Chapter 20- Truth Hurts.

'Lily!' ...Somebody is calling for me...
'Lily! Don't you dare die on me! Pft, as if I'd die when you're so loud.
'Lily! Wake up!' ...Don't wanna...
'She's not dead, Sasori-danna, Madara actually said that she hears you-' Eh, It was Sasori? Really? Never knew he was so annoying~ Hmm? Someone's laughing?
'Now Madara says she's calling you annoying!~' Yes, thanks for eavesdropping on my thoughts Madara, thank you soo much. 
'Hey Lily, if you can hear me, Madara just laughed at you~' Obviously. 
'Hey Dear, instead of talking threw my Sharingan, why don't you just wake up?' My face burns, that's why. 
'Well, of course Captain Obvious' Hmm? I can't remember why...?
'...' Fine, I'll wake up, but you better give me answers, or else~ I mentally laughed at the mental tone of my mental voice, I must be going mental. I laughed again. I slowly open my eyes, careful to go slowly so I won't get a headache. I open my eyes to see many blurry faces. 
"Ah, she's awake now~" Hidan.
"..." Madara. How I know? I just do. He was the only person quiet. Other than Deidara. 
"Hi Everyone~" I sang, even though my own voice hurt to use. 
"Hey Lily, how are you feeling?" My vision clears. It was Kisame. 
"I'm feeling okay, Kisame."
"Does anywhere hurt?" That was Hidan. 
"Yes, but only my face..."
"He-he, I like to consider it my 'pay-back'-" That earned him a playful punch from both Madara and Deidara at the head.
"Ow~ That hurts!" 
"Oi, Hidan this is serious..."
"...You think I don't know that?"
"Guys, it's really not that serious, really..."
"It's more serious that you could ever believe, Lily..." Wait, I feel like I'm forgetting about someone...wait...
"...Oh yeah, how's Pain?..."
"In a light coma, sleeping like a baby..." That made me smile just a little bit. Good, he isn't hurt all that much. 
"Physically not really. But~" Madara started smirking.
"You can consider his pride as good as gone~"
This I gently laugh at. The great Pain-sama, stripped of his pride. At least he still has his title, or...does he?
"Hey guys...did Pain lose his title?"
"..."
"...He did didn't he?..."
"Yes, but it's not your fault no matter what he says." 
"But I am the reason why though, aren't I?"
"Semi-some, but all the fault resides in him..." Huh? Did Madara just look a little bit away from me?
"I...didn't lose my title but I should have, to let a girl receive a punishment intended for me..."
"N-No! I was the one who jumped in front of you! You couldn't have done anything else..."
"Truth to be told sweetheart, I could have done a number of things."
"B-But, I wanted to do it, I wanted to help..."
"Hurting yourself for others isn't going to help much dear..." 
I grumbled. "Your not just a 'someone' Madara, you are my friend." I held my strong glare. He looked slightly taken aback, but his smile quickly returns.
"Knew it, a friend is all I am to you, aren't I?~" He asked happily, but with a sad smile. 
"I guess..." I look down a little bit, noticing Sasori sitting on the ground, staring at me...staring. I blush a little bit, but quickly wipe it off in less than a second. 
"A-Ah, Sasori, w-why are you on the floor...?" To my surprise, nearly everyone shot him a look immediately, he just groaned.
"W-Why is everyone staring a-at Sasori?" Ahh! Why am I stuttering?! Stuttering! Lily Skyria Does Not Stutter!
Madara gave me a brief glance before he restrained me by my hair. He activated his Sharingan. 
"You have exactly 15 seconds to explain why you were stuttering towards Sasori. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-"
"I-I!" Grr! 'I' what?!
"I what, dear?" I flinched, he was getting madder every second. 
"I-I-..." S.P.I.T it Out Girl!
"..." My head felt super dizzy as I felt my eyes going swirly.
"U-Uh...Sasori!" I shouted, but still kept my eyes closed tightly, reality is so hard to face...
"I-!"
"I gave you stuttering medicine." Sasori finished.
"W-What?" My blush still evident as I fought furiously to calm it down a hue.    
"The sickness medicine, one of the side-effects were stuttering. The reason they started now was because it takes a while for them to start..." He answered nonchalantly, him totally un-fazed. Everyone shot him one last glare before most of them left. Leaving me to just gawk at the remaining people before me. There was of course, Sasori. And Madara and Deidara. I swallow before starting to talk, still trying to stop stuttering. 
"H-Hey...I think the stuttering is wearing off..." I sigh in relief, finally I was normal again. Sadly Madara still glared mildly irritatedly at me, Deidara frowning sadly at me and Sasori ignoring me. I sigh in disappointment.
"Come on guys, I don't even understand why you guys are mad at me..."
"...We're not mad..." answered Deidara
"Then why are all of you acting so weird towards me?" I was starting to grow uneasy.  
"..." I pout a little bit and then sigh. There was no use for me to just stay here. I started getting up, but then I realized I was being restrained. By some obvious stupid mental power. I growl in annoyance and give Madara an annoyed look. Although he looked more annoyed than me. I was a little hurt even, why were they acting so mean?...
"Mean? Is that how you feel about us?" I look up in surprise, I started sweating. I knew it. I just couldn't keep my jutsu's under control when I'm this out of it. I felt so angry. Not at them. At myself. They are my friends, aren't they?'There just using you' Tsuande's voice rung threw my head.
"No!!" I cried out loud in frustration while covering my ears. Lies, Lies, Lies! They would never-!
"It's true" I look up immediately to face Madara. Totally serious. Not even a hint of his usual playfulness. I felt like somebody was stabbing my heart with a knife over and over again and I knew exactly who it was. Truth. And truth hurts. I could feel myself going limp. My head hung down without my command. I could feel tears starting to sting in my eyes. I knew...and I thought I accepted it already...so why? Why does it hurt this much?! Maybe...maybe...it's just a-
"Lily...we hate you, get out of our room." I Lily Skyria, officially have snapped. 

I feel bad for Lily. That must have hurt tons. Unfortunately, you can't really have a interesting love story without drama. Plus, no way am I putting girl competition in there, that'll just make it nasty. So...the only thing I can do is force the boys to make a decision. Yup, the earlier chapters were defintely cute and fluffy, but...I need some spice in this story.
