Chapter 26:Poker

Tsuna glanced around the table. Mammon looked highly amused as she gathered up the loser Arcobaleno's wagers.

Reborn was busy with something or another, so he wasn't present.

Yuni, however, was very present. Presently very upset. She looked as if she was going to start crying out how life was unfair.

As was everyone else. Especially Lal, Skull, and Colonnello.

They watched as Tsuna and Byakuran faced off in the last round.

One was a cheater and the other was cursed and blessed in the same breath.

As the game had become intense, Byakuran released a smirk, "You know, Tsunayoshi-kun, you have no hopes of winning."

Raising an eyebrow, Tsuna glanced in the marshmallow demon's direction, "Oh really? Why ever not?"

"It is oh so simple. I am cheating!" Byakuran declared, as if he solved the meaning of life.

Emerging from the depths from his almost non existant sadic side, Tsuna's smirk widened as watchers nearby backed up, shivering. Yuni clutching Fon's arm tightly. "I knew all along. But I am very talented in the art of poker Byakuran. Such a sad thing for you"

Slamming his cards down, Byakuran yelled "Four of a kind!"

Gently placing his own down, Tsuna simply said "Royal Straight Flush"

Declarations of 'what the fuck is this bastard' combined with hysterical sobbing filled the air. Shrugging, Tsuna approached Mammon. "Take your share. Then give them back whatever is left. I am going home. Lambo wants me to cook tonight."
