Hinata leaned her head on her desk and faced the rubber duck. She pressed it's head with her index finger and thumb then the head was squished but it went back to it's shape when she let go. She giggled at her duck. She sat up straight and sighed, she looked at her arms and smiled sadly. Sakura didn't do it, but her friends did.
The scratches were fresh and new, created from their sharp, long, shiny nails that reminds her of a knife. But they were already bandaged carefully. That's what she get for not buying those new, amazing accessories, clothes, etc. But who cares? They'll get old. She's only a girl who enjoys the simple things in life. A plain shirt and jeans are already simple.
"I don't see why girls in my school have to buy the newest, fashionable accessories there is. Not only that, they are really expensive." She said aloud, the duck just remained still and silent. Over the years, she got rid of her bad habit of stuttering…only to her duck because she got used talking to it alone.
Suddenly, someone came to her room. She looked up slowly to see Hanabi, who was carrying a Barbie doll at one hand and a dollhouse on the other hand. Yes, Hanabi is secretly a Barbie Collector, which was so not her because she was one of those popular girls in the elementary and she's already like twelve or thirteen. The only people who knew her secret were only their cousin, Neji and her big sister, Hinata.
"Wanna play toys again?" She asked softly which made Hinata smile and nod her head. Happy to see her sister's reaction, she closed the door and locked it. Then after that, they both sat on the floor.
"H-how many d-dolls have y-you collected?" She asked out of curiousity. Hanabi put a hand on her chin and she looked like she was deep in thought and she looked like she was also mouthing numbers.
"I think, forty-five." Hanabi answered, unsure. She held her favorite Barbie doll of all. The hair was intense brown that reached the back. The eyes were gray but darker than the Hyugas. But Hanabi insisted that the doll looked exactly like her.
"It c-could be m-more than that." Hinata replied while Hanabi shrugged. She grabbed the Hanabi doll and picked up a tiny comb to brush her hair while Hanabi grabbed her rubber duck.
"Maybe you should just have a Barbie doll instead of this duck. It's so ugly." Hanabi suggested, as usual. All Hinata could do was sigh while she continued brushing the doll's hair.
"So what about it? Let's buy you a Barbie doll! Because…you can't have mine because most of them are limited edition." Hanabi continued while squashing the poor thing's head.
Hinata looked up and sighed again, "N-no, thank y-you. B-but I prefer Ducky."
"But it's soooo ugly." Hanabi whined and squeezed the duck. Hinata almost screamed, "Ummm… d-don't do that, please." And Hanabi obeyed, she made the duck face her and looked at it. Soon, Hanabi tried to mimic the frown on the duck's face.
"W-what are y-you doing?" Hinata giggled and turned to look at her sister. Hanabi didn't even look at her sister and continued imitating.
"I can't believe this duck can frown better than me." Hanabi huffed and squeezed the duck once more between her fists. Hinata almost had the urge to scream, "H-Hanabi, p-plea-ase d-don't." Hanabi slowly opened her fist and the duck went back to it's shape again.
"This makes a good stress reliever, you know." Hanabi said aloud, lightly squishing it. Just as Hinata was going to remind her again, she released it from her grip.
"When did you buy this?" She asked curiously, still looking at the duck she was holding.
"S-since I was f-five." She answered, taking the duck away from Hanabi in a possessive way.
"Wow! It's old!" Hanabi sat there, shocked. "I was born that time before you bought it, right?"
"I t-think I b-bought this two m-months before you were b-born." Hinata corrected, to Hanabi's dismay.
"This is so cool! Can I have it?" She said teasingly. But since Hinata took it the wrong way she absentmindedly shouted the word, "No!" out loud.
Hanabi's eyes widened at her unexpected reaction.
"I-I'm s-sorry, Hanabi! I-I really am! I d-don't know what's g-got into m-me." She bowed her head a few times.
"Whoah! I never knew you had it in you!" Hanabi began clapping her hands like a child. Hinata just sighed in frustrastion and couldn't understand why her sister was not mad at her sudden reaction.
Then someone knocked on their door. Hanabi quickly fixed her toys and hid it under Hinata's bed. Hinata quickly grabbed her duck and opened the door.
It was Neji. From his point of view, his cousins were both sweating and nervous. He raised an eyebrow questioningly, "Did something happen when you played toys?" He smirked.
The girls shook their heads, "We thought you were someone else and we had to hide my toys." She answered, while stressing the word 'my'.
Neji rolled his eyes, "Anyway, dinners ready." He said and the trio went to the dining area.
They left the duck alone. Then the air from the window pushed the door tightly to close it. Then the air transformed into a person, Madara. With a wave of a finger, the rubber material changed into a naked, human Sasuke.
"Sasuke, Do you love your new owner?" Madara asked in an interest tone.
"Tsk. No way." Sasuke scoffed while he just sat down on the desk.
"Sasuke, it's time to love a person again."
"Love her?" Madara nodded,
"It'll be nice to love a person once in awhile." He tried encouraging but it didn't work on Sasuke.
"No." He replied plainly.
"Why is that?" He asked curiously.
"You and I both know that." He answered with words filled with disgust.
"Now, now, Sasuke—"
"Shut the hell up. I'm tired of this and that's that so go away and change me into rubber material. Or better yet, kill me already. Being immortal sucks." He spoke harshly and sadistically.
"You know, you're indestructible when you're a material and there's nothing I can do about it." He said. He waved his hands again and zapped it on Sasuke's chest. He flinched but relaxed.
"I don't have time, now I gave you the power to turn into a human or a duck on your own will. See ya!" With that, he vanished into thin air.
Sasuke changed himself as a rubber material again just in time for Hinata to open the door with a satisfied stomach. Oh great, my owner came. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
