Maiko was singing softly, her feet dangling in the Uchiha compounds pond, looking up at the blackbirds flying over her head. Completely unaware of her audience or of the somber mans thoughts.

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free."

Dangling her toes in the water, long fiery curls fanned out behind her as she toys with them. Emerald eyes sliding shut as she loses herself in her song, unaware of her music soothing the souls of more than one savage beast.

"Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, into the light of a dark black night."

Itachi found himself being drawn towards an angels voice, muscles relaxing as he makes his way to sit beside is father. Calm and at peace with this world of war he lives in, at least for this moment. Somehow free in spirit if not body.
