Gamble Much?

"Hit me..." Kagerichi said, smoking a large pipe. The dealer laid down a king of hearts. "Fuck! Adds up to 24..." Kagerichi said disappointingly after loosing a round of black jack. Reaching into a suitcase, Kagerichi takes out a big bag of coins. "Another round..." He said seriously.

He breathed in the ash and soot of the rejects that littered this rundown casino in the Rain village he now called his home. He sat there not in his traditional uniform but in very causal black cloths. "Hit me," he said in his powerful deep voice. He gained an Ace, a Five, and a Three. A Nineteen was what he accumulated. He showed no happiness nor did he express joy. He simply reached into his side pouch and got ready for the next turn. He brushed his hand against his purple hair. He sat there focusing on the cards, hadn't even noticed the sannin that was on the other side of the table.

Xarias simply looks upon them from on top of an extremely high building. She had especially keen vision.

.. an ace.. a five.. and a three.. She mumbles lightly.

"If I were you.. I'd fold unless your feeling lucky.." she says, letting her wings fall into a conclusive stage, rested and lowered.

"Hmph..." Kagerichi said, closing his eyes and smiling widely. Throwing down his cards, an ace and a king, he reaches out to grab the large 'mosh pit' of cash. Raking it to the edge, he leaned to get his suitcase, and then finally swiped all the cash into the suitcase - barely fitting it. "Another round folks?" Kagerichi said in a slightly cocky tone to the players at the table. He looked around the table looking at each person, each one a different quality to them. Until he eyed a man with purple hair. Scouting out his outfit a sinking feeling rushes into his stomach. Trying to prevent a small 'fear' of his, Kagerichi slowly withdraws a Kunai Knife and sticks it to the bottom of the table with a very small amount of smoke; just incase. Coming back to reality, he chuckles softly and says, "Lay down yer' bets!"

The man chuckled to himself. He had lost that round and was nearly outta cash. He looked around the table. "All in" He spoke this with extreme calm. He pushed the rest of his money into the center of the table. If he lost he could alway go "refresh" his bank account from one of the other players. He noticed the man hold a kunai under the desk. His eyes never missed anything. They always moved. However it looked like his eyes where stuck in one place as he never blinked unless nessersary. He called for his cards. He got an King, He then called out calmly." Hit me." Then a seven fired down. He waited before calling out his next turn. He looked over to the sannin. He gave a wink and he called out again." Hit me." The final card was a three. Before he Dealer saw it however the numbers changed. Adding a extra icon and morphing into a solid four. He had Twenty One.

Xarias noticed the moves he had put on, and laughed.

"Ugh.. Humans are such cheaters." She says, giggling. She took a sack of about 10k Ryo, and dropped it in the direction of the table they were playing on.

Kagerichi smiled again as he saw everyone place their bets. He saw nothing except for... He picked one coin from his suitcase and flipped in the air. As soon as the smallest fraction of the coin hit the table, everything went silent, and Kagerichi was behind the man with the purple hair in an instant. "You know... I've been playing cards for 30 years now... I know everything..." Kagerichi said in his ear, right hand on his left shoulder. Taking his left hand and putting it into the 'Release' hand-sign, he lightly taps the cards, morphing them back into their original form. Walking slowly back to his chair and sitting down, he asks a waitress for a drink. Turning back to the purpled hair man, Kagerichi winks the exact opposite eye that the man did to him.

How Confident. It was absolutly hysterical that this man used a seal to unleash the cards true forms. However the effects of his seal where much greater than that. When The smoking man place his hand on the arm of Death. The man must have not had been aware of the Radiation fuming from the meteor that was unfused him Death. The seal had stopped the emits and as the man ordered his drink it was green ooze in a old chicken noodle soup can. The Waitress was a tree steam, the Dealer was a old lamp post, the casino itself was an entire Junkyard that was turned into a casino with the help of Deaths Genjutsu expertise. Death smiled as he rose from his weird metalic Throne. He looked the man in the eyes. He pointed at the briefcase of money. The bills, the chesse, the wads of cash turned into maggots and flies which fled from the location. "Thats a mighty Strong Sealing tool."

As Xarias looks out for her bag of Ryo, it hits DeathWave upon the head, knocking the Casino's illusion back into its former self. Immaturelly and impishly she lets out a somewhat loud laugh.

"Oh god.. Haha!" She states, laughing more than ever.

A dangerous tension arose from the laugh. Appearing behind the lady, Kagerichi says into her ear, while exposing three cards (7+8+5) to her, "And you are...?" This time more serious, for he could sense a possibly dangerous event going to occur with two Akatsuki members in the vicinity. The Kunai wizzes from underneath the table, between the legs of the female Akatasuki member and into the hands of the old man, several, close inches away from her. Raising the Kunai to his mid-section, he throws the cards onto the table, not minding if he won or lost, just hoping he could settle for... um... er... what's that important thing?... Oh right! His life.

"Oh, me? Im Xarias. And that was quite funny." She says, continuing to laugh.
