"First of all, my real name is not Tsuki Koumei, but Tsuki Toji, meaning useless. The scientists that brought me into this world named me that at birth. But I'd prefer Koumei. At birth, I was a stillborn. I was not meant to live in this world, but people have sick minds. They used my body as an experiment for forbidden jutsus, eventually bringing me back into the world and leaving me with my parents to grow up in the Hidden Mist.
"When I turned three, my brother Haku was born. But at that age, I was also taken by Orochimaru. I was not a stupid child, and I knew that my parents were afraid of me, that they didn't really love me. So I always looked to my brother, since he never had any opinion byt to laugh and smile. I didn't really care. I left with Orochimaru, to go train away from home, leaving my family.
"He trained me in secret here in Konoha, leaving me to fend for myself at nights in the woods, unless I was well-behaved and he took me in for the night. I trained with Anko and we learned some of the same jutsus, but Orochimaru made me focus on the Wing-style. Orochimaru was horrible to me, he would never feed me or take care of me, except when I was really little and couldn't do that for myself.
"At five, I was at the Gennin level and had usage of my wings and I had Kuro. By seven, I was at a chuunin level, and by ten I was at the level of an Anbu captain. For some reason, perhaps from depression or lonliness, I had tried to kill myself every day, and only Anko, who was assigned to take care of me, could talk me out of it. I soon stopped caring about everything, my body and my heart simply went numb and became oblivious to all around it. I finally realized that I was just a tool, for the Hidden Mist, for Orochimaru, for anyone who happened to pick me up.
"When I turned thirteen, after mastering the Wing-style, Orochimaru thought me too dangerous and sealed the demon griffin inside of me to control me. Breaking the seal is very painful, and had I not experienced such pain throughout my life, it would have knocked me out every time he used it on me. But that was the last straw. I was not going to be controlled like that, existing alone was enough to worry about.
"I waited until after Orochimaru had finished a fight with some guy, and his chakra and energy were slightly lower, and then I confronted him. He had said that the only way to escape was to beat him in one-on-one combat, so that's exactly what I did.
"Orochimaru made the mistake of releasing the demon inside of me, and for that he paid dearly. The battle lasted a long time, two days or something, I can't remember. I think I eventually pushed him back and he forfeit, but left me to die. Every bone. Every bone in my body was broken, I think. I thought I died after I blacked out, but unfortunately not.
"I woke up around a month later, still a tool, but picked up by the Tsukikage, leader of the Hidden Moon. He became my adoptive father, or so he said, and I was forced to teach him and the more talented members of the Hidden Moon my Wing-style. When I was training him, though, I found out he was with the Akatsuki.
"Knowing I knew this, he forced me into the group also. I began doing missions for money for him. He barred my room, like a prison, and sent me out every once and a while for assasinations requested in secret by other Hidden Villages. I could have easily run, but there were threats of mental and physical pain that bound me to him. I never ate, and became weaker. Assasins who thought me to be too dangerous would come in the night to kill me, but I simply killed them.
"I became of a jounin hunter-nin level at the age of fourteen, and the Tsukikage sent me out to train powerful ninja from other villages, Sora and Kawa, and I completed their training in three years, with many gaps in between making it only about six months. It was odd having to teach people who were six and eight years older than me.
"The Tsukikage had not mastered the Wing-style, luckily, because I refused to teach it to him. This was the one time I stood up for myself, and I was continually harassed for it. He would torture me for days by breaking my fingers or depriving me of food, water and sleep. It was during one of these torture sessions that I found out his secret.
"He was the scientist in charge of me, the one who created me, the cause of all my pain. He showed me the scrolls that were the accounts of the experiment, procedures, jutsus, results and all of my personal information. He then went on to tell me that he planned to launch an attack with the Akatsuki against Konoha.
"That was it, I couldn't take it. I remember, that was the night I simply snapped. I don't really remember, but I killed hundreds of people, innocent included, anyone who got in the way. The Akatsuki tried to hold me down, but pain was useless against me, I had a heart of ice and a black soul. So I painted the Hidden Moon red, and enjoyed it.
"I knew I had to run, get to Konoha and warn them, so I did. I ran for three days, chased by the Akatsuki. The rest you know, up until Itachi took me back.
"Orochimaru had joined with the Akatsuki and the Kirigenshi and were planning to start a giant war. If I had thought my life was Hell, than I don't know what it is now. It's taken a turn for the worst. Orochimaru continued with the experiment. He... my wings... and he stole my memories of my brother Haku. A month and a half... two weeks from now he will begin the war.
"I finally fought my way out, past around three thousand ninja, although only three hundred or so actually fought. I flew here with the griffin summon Akaihane. My life has no meaning whatsoever, and now Orochimaru is using me again. Had I the courage, I would have ended my life years ago. But I don't. I'm a worthless coward who can't protect anyone or anything. I'm a tool, a monster, my life means nothing to me or anyone else. But I just don't care anymore. Orochimaru is after me, and this time he'll kill me, but I'll take him with me no matter what. I swear. Before I die, I will see his blood spilt everywhere. He is a horrible monster, look at what he's done to me."
Koumei removed her robe and flooded the seal with chakra, managing to force it open again. The long, narrow, leathery wings stretched wide before folding. The four other ninja gasped in horror, and she pulled them in again, blood oozing slowly down her back. She replaced her robe, still facing away.
"Do you forgive me for lying? I can't... can't... just..." she trailed off as the wind carried her voice away. Kawa stepped up and grabbed her shoulders, spinning her around and hugging her. Koumei dropped her bag and stood perfectly still, not knowing what to do.
"We were never mad at you, we just wanted the truth. And you don't have no one, you've got us, and you're welcome to stay with us at any time. Just forget about all that stuff," Kawa broke away, but knowing that Koumei could never forget. She grabbed her arm and pulled her away as she grabbed her bag.
"Now, let's get dinner!" said Kawa happily, brushing past the three male ninja and draggind Koumei. Genma followed eventually, as did Kasei and Sora, back to the village as if nothing had happened. As Kawa passed them however, they noticed her blood red eyes were shimmering with tears.
