Chapter 16: Nail Polish
After bribing Naruto and Obito with an assortment of cup noodles, I nudged Sasuke to Itachi. From behind the scheming child, I looked to Itachi with my most adorable and heartbreaking puppy-dog-eyes. I was sending him my telepathic request.
"Please stop Sasuke before he eats all my money!"
And as we all know by now, Itachi was an awesome big brother who would comply to his little mas-brother's every whim. And now… I regret asking Itachi instead of their mother to stop Sasuke's pranking game. As Itachi unscrew the cap of the modified nail polish, the smell of utter garbage took over the room. It nearly made me vomit on the spot. Pinching my nose, I questioned my best friend.
"Oh, that stinks. Are you seriously putting it on your nails?"
"I have some air freshener in the house. At worse, I'll use mother's perfume."
Dipping the little brush, Itachi began painting his fingernails.
"You're actually using it. As a brother, that's some dedication I won't make. Honestly, this thing smells worse than Obito's socks. I thought that was bad when it made Kakashi's ninken go into seizure. This... takes the cake."
I was beginning to feel faint and my stomach was ready to do a triple flip, fall and never come back. How is this guy, who was holding that stink bomb, still so calm?
"Itachi, where's that air freshener you mentioned?... Crap! The air freshener isn't working!"
