A beautiful tune, an exquisite sound graced his ears….A song he remembered by heart. A song he knew she loved, that spoke of Spring, children, insects, animals, life continuing. A song pasted through her family from generations to generations….she once told him timidly, that she would pass it to their offsprings. That thought made him happy….
The small melody shifted through the wind, towards him.
Was he dreaming?
Was he now all alone…..
He reached out his hand that was covered in dirt and blood….tentatively…to the sky…
"Hinata… I can hear …..you…sing…"

The sun shifted in the small window of a tiny room, that harbored a small lithe female in her teens, a sun beam gliding across her cheek. Her soft body was breathing calmly as fluids seeped into her skin to keep her hydrated and nourished.
She awoke started, the events of last night replaying in her mind, although she found herself to be extremely weak, she managed to still call out for her son.
"Onegai, where's my son," she cried, pulling the blankets away from her body. Noticing her flat stomach, where she once held a precious cargo.
"Calm yourself, little one." an older women smiled, gently, "he's in our special nursery. He's resting, just as you should be doing, chibi-kassan. Congratulations, you gave birth to a healthy seven pound baby." she quietly spoke. "By the way, my name is Ayaka, I am your nurse, until Doctor Sohma arrives for your post check-up."
"Hai…Arigato" she whispered, blushing at the comment made earlier, she placed her left arm on top of her right, rubbing the skin there as she felt a chill. The IV placed on her seemed to have an odd sensation upon her like the chains in her cell, holding her down. The nurse taking her hint, released her from the thin tube which sustained her for now.
She looked around her surrounding at the cozy little room. She did what Sasuke told of her, and now she was free….and had no one to turn too. She covered her face with both hands, feeling the urge to cry. She was scared.
"You are quite the talk of the town, you know, arriving out of nowhere in the middle of the night, and pregnant nonetheless, we don't even know your name." The nurse stated interrupting her thoughts.
"Ano, my name is Hina-Himiko. Himiko Kinosawa" she stuttered, breaking from her moment of melancholy. She did not know what possessed her to lie, maybe the thought of someone recognizing her true name, would report her back home, back home to Konoha, but wasn't that what she wanted? What about Sasuke? Should she wait for him? No, he told her to go back to Konoha…demo did she really want to now.
"Well, Himiko any thoughts on to what you are going to name your precious baby boy."
"I….I…don't..", she looked out into the window, pearly white eyes, narrowing in the face of light, on the branch of the tree by the small glass, a green bird, with elongated central tail-feathers. The plumage was a bright green and tinged with blue especially on the chin and throat. The crown and upper back were tinged with golden rufous. The flight feathers were rufous washed with green and tipped with blackish. It was a beautiful creature she had ever seen. It seemed to stare at her, chirping a beautiful song from it's beak, until in a blink of an eye it flow into the sky, flapping it's wing unrestraint, unhithered,…. Free...
She shook her head, her indigo strands of ribbon flying across her pale thin features. Small tears leaked her eyes. The nurse gently came to her side.
"There, There you don't have to talk about it yet if you don't want too." she shushed stroking Hinata's hair, like a mother would do.
"In the meantime," her gentle voice soothed Hinata, "Do you want to see your baby boy."
She nodded, closing her eyes, as a clear water trickled down her pale cheek.
She was all alone….

He opened his eyes in a flash as he took in a gasp of air.
He was breathing harshly, heavily.
Holding on by a single thread.
He grunted as he held gashes and cuts, that seeped out copper fluid in moments. He fell to the floor creating his own tremor, the soft ground cushioning his impact.
From a distance, he heard Madara's slowly agonizing screams, and then dead silence.
A hard thud on the earth soaked ground, the vibration radiating towards him.
Life flashed avidly before onyx eyes, vision becoming dim and blurry. Bright Crimson, bright red, eternal darkness was all he could see. Scents and sounds were becoming more hard to distinguish, just fading. His mouth had gone dry, though spittle seeped out. His senses failing him. His life ending….he was left to contemplate his fate.
He laid on the ground faced down, arms sprawled about him, the last of a remnant cloud pelting the remains of tear drops of the sky.
With widen eyes, images, of Naruto laughing, Sakura huffing, Kakashi mindful, and the rest of village of Konoha and the inhabitants, flashed like blinking lights, on the back of his mind, reeling itself like a broken recorded, with no audio, besides the flow of her voice, her song.
Orochimaru, Kabuto, and all the feats he done with them flooded his very being.
Scenes of Karin pouting, Suigetsu bragging, and Jugo quietly contemplating, began to surface as well, his team TAKA shifting through his very eyes, like sand through fingers.
The lost thoughts of his late brother Itachi, his mother, and father, just a dancing memory growing very dim, until he couldn't remember them.
Even her…yes…even the HYUUGA GIRL…even Hinata….appeared in his mind as a last afterthought, though he pictured her smiling in a vast field of green grass, high to her knees, holding their son, his son, high in an endless sea of blue sky, smiling for him, and only him beckoning him to join them in their laughter.
The memory of her voice…. An implant of her hymn, her melody, her song, was carefree and proud, dancing within the borders of time.
He remembered when he had caught her singing for the first time, while she thought he had left her alone, in the cell, the words calmly yet softly shifted through his ears. He memorized her face with Sharigann, playing back the gentle lovely tune, her expressions as she sang….he closed his eyes. From then on, he requested songs and hymns as a part of a repertoire, when he sought her all those nights, making love to her. He smirked, he never did asked her the name of the song.
Light finally graced herself upon him, where he refrained. The rain letting up showing the glory of a beginning morning. He rolled over, facing up, the movement hurting him more then he thought. "Fuck" he groaned.
Soft rain littered his face, and the melody in his head intensified as if she were right there singing it for him. He wondered what she was doing now? Did she give birth? He wanted to know…He closed his eyes, yet opening them as he felt a small weight on his right arm.
A small green bird perched on his extended right hand startling him, all but catching his remaining attention in awe. It chirped a tiny melody, which made Sasuke laugh carefree.
Its wings were beautiful in sight, it gazed at him for a while, before taking it's radiance and song away, casting it's wings down to take flight.
He closed his eyes once more.
He believed he was now free…..

The nurse brought in a small beautiful creature, that was once growing inside her. His dark sable hair plastered to his tiny crown. He cooed and snuggled against the fabric of the pearl-eyed girl, his tiny hands gripping her feather light gown, as he was handed softly to his mother.. She smiled down at him. This…small frail human was hers, hers to keep. Her son….Sasuke's son.
The nurse pardon herself leaving the newly mother alone. Hinata watched as the older woman left, stating she would be back, that there was another urgency to attend to.
She heard the tiny mouth squeal and her eyes once again sought her new born. She cuddled him closer to her bosom, eyeing the small infant. In that moment he opened his eyes, showing the world his beautiful, dark obsidian orbs.
Dark obsidain met white-pearl ones.
She gasped, as tears rolled down her cheek, splashing his forehead, rolling along his own.
Feeling the wetness, he began to cry. Her eyes soften…and she shushed him and crooned over him, humming a small tune. He began to relax and soon he was calm.
They only had each other now…they were alone….
She thought of Sasuke, was he alone like her…..
Yet she had a piece of him with her…. As she looked down at the tiny replica that looked like his father.
"Shinichi," she smiled, "Let me sing you a song." she whispered placing a small kiss upon his head, while closing her eyes.
She felt like singing……for him……
Her song called GREENBIRD….

Windlight Note:
Hi, wind light here, just wrapping up the third installment of this series. Ok, I know it's a bit short ne, but the song is actually a minute and fifty-three seconds. So bear with me. I still have the ultimate song to end the great climax…don't hate me if its good or bad sad or happy or just something you wouldn't expect. So anyways, I advise you to hear the song on you tube or catch the episode of Cowboy bebop to understand the song. It's quite a nice song. A nice ballad. By the way Yoko Kanno uses another language in her compositions or scores, so I don't really know what language the singer sings it in. But it's very beautiful and soft. I like it. So if you'll can review and tell me what you think.
