Author's notes: I love poker. Running out of ideas. T-T. All I gotta say about it. xD. Wow. Short author's notes this time.

R&R.

At Break

The tension in the air was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. Don't you just love clichés? In any case, it was pretty bad. The four guys were sitting at a round table, intently staring at one another. Everyone else was gathered around to watch the showdown.

Finally Naruto spoke up irritably. "Just pick whether you're gonna fold or not, Sasuke."

Was it mentioned that all this was because of poker?

The dark-haired Uchiha paid the boy no mind, continuing to stare at his opponent across the table. "You're bluffing Hyuga."

Neji tilted his head to the side. "Am I?" he smirked back at Uchiha.

Sasuke looked down at the cards in his hands. He had managed to get two pairs. One was a pair of aces. The other was a pair of queens. He was almost positive that he had the highest hand in this round. And it wasn't as if he could afford to fold now. He was down five dollars as it was.

And damnit. Neji was winning.

Uchiha grit his teeth and put in his last dollar.

Gaara revealed his hand. A pair of jacks.

Shino revealed his hand. Three sixes.

Sasuke smirked at Neji, convinced that he had won.

The Hyuga calmly flipped over his cards.

"YOU HAVE A FLUSH?!"

Next Day

Sasuke glared at Neji who was sitting across from him again. "You aren't going to win today."

Neji just shrugged.

"Just deal, Uchiha," Gaara snapped. "I need to take my nap."

Shino raised one eyebrow. "I didn't know that you slept."

"Yah, I thought you couldn't sleep because of your demon?" Neji continued.

"Like what the hell? Clearly in the show 'Naruto' you said you don't sleep, ever." Sasuke said.

Gaara gave them all a death glare. "Deal. Now." He growled. "…or else."

The Uchiha gave Gaara an interested look. "Or else what?"

Poor Sasuke. He never saw it coming.

Shino sighed and looked at Gaara trying to strangle Sasuke on the ground. "Well, might as well deal the cards."

15 minutes later

Sasuke was once again back in his seat…a little beat up, but alive at least.

They had played five rounds already and Neji was winning. Again.

This was not making Uchiha very happy. In fact it was making Uchiha very unhappy. *Ignore restatement of same idea.*

Neji smirked at Sasuke. "Losing again I see."

Sasuke growled back. "Just deal."

"What about this time we make it more interesting." Gaara quipped. "Winner takes all."

The Hyuga and Uchiha nodded to each other.

"Deal." They agreed.

All four boys stared intently at their cards after they got them. The only sound to be heard was Naruto fidgeting over in the corner. "Would you stop moving for once?" Sasuke roared.

"B-but I gotta pee," the energetic blond complained.

Neji looked at the boy in surprise. "Then why aren't you going?"

Before Neji could say anything else Naruto sped out of the room.

Sasuke glared down at his cards. He was almost positive he could win this time. Just like every other time he lost.

"Two pairs." Gaara laid out his cards.

"Flush." Neji put out.

"STRAIGHT!" Sasuke screamed in joy as he realized that he won.

"Royal flush," Shino looked at the Uchiha with a strange face. "I win."

5 minutes later

"No m'am, we don't know what happened. All of a sudden he just had a breakdown and started crying. We haven't been able to get him to shut up." Gaara explained.

The nurse looked at the Uchiha boy who was currently crying out buckets upon buckets of water anime-style. "Well, I guess he can stay here until he stops." She said reluctantly.

As the three boys walked out of the room, Shino spoke up. "I don't get it…It was just Monopoly money."

R&R.
