Here's a song I felt that went well with Tsuki's life.

Tsuki's POV
I stood on the edge of the cliff watching the whole scene unravel before me. The cries of my sister filled the air as I watched tears cascade down her pale stricken face. Her eyes held sadness, guilt, remorse, and pity. She was punishing herself for my downfall. Well, my clones downfall. It's a simple, but hard jutsu to perfect. The Blood Clone. A clone that could bleed like a real person and stays in place even though it received a fatal blow.

If you're wondering how I'm able to know what's happening, it's because I could see. The blindness was temporary. When I use Cerridwen's power to heal someone, I become blind. The more fatal the wound, the more days I become blind. In my case, I became blind for two days.

My attention draws back to my sister as she screams in anguish.

"NO! W-why did she have to die?! It should've been me, not her! She's so much stronger and has more potential than me! She's suffered too much! It's all my fault! I-it's a-all my f-fault," she yells, breaking down in the end.

Naruto walks up to her and places a hand on her shoulder, "Sakura-chan it's not your fau-

"NO! IT IS MY F-FAULT! I pushed her away! I made her life hell! I tormented her! I destroyed her life! I hated her when I should've loved her! I was jealous of her! Just because she was smarter, more beautiful, and more stronger than me! She had friends, but I took them away by telling them lies! I forced my parents to hate her," she explains, cutting Naruto off.

As much as I wanted to run into her arms and forgive her, I couldn't. I had to play the part of being 'dead' and continue my life in the Akatsuki. I have to force myself into being the enemy they portrayed me to be.

A killer.

A traitor.

A criminal.

I can't have any ties to them, even though I want to be a part of them again and live the happy life in Konoha. Unfortunately, I chose to be a criminal and now I have to act like one. The doubts that swim in my dark mind, I need to drown them, making them disappear. I need to swallow my guilt and continue on my wary way towards my life in the Akatsuki. Thankfully Kakuzu and Hidan died, so I don't have to worry about them spilling about my betrayal. If Leader-sama knew about my wrongful action, he would no doubt punish me or worse, kill me.

I'll continue my life as a Akatsuki member, but I won't participate in harming the Leaf Village. I'll help them through the shadows, giving them information about the members of The Akatsuki and what their goal is. With Sunagakure, I don't really care about them since were not in good terms, so I'll still harm them here and there. The other villages I'll participate in attacking them since I have no ties to them.

This is my life now, and it's too late to turn back.

I ignored the crying of my sister and the looks of sympathy of the Konoha ninja and went my merry way. I entered the fortress of trees and ran towards Amegakure. Even if my body is screaming to stop and rest since I'm low on Chakra, I push through the pain. If I keep running and don't stop I'll make it there in one day.
