Dead Fathers Society
Tsukuyomaru grinned. "I see your wager," he said, plunking his chips on the table. "And I raise."
Jinenji's father sighed, tossed back a cup of sake, and considered wiping the smile of the bat-youkai's face.
"Well?" Tsukuyomaru prodded.
"I got nothing and ya know it," the horse-youkai scowled. "But ya haven't won yet, boy."
"Of course not," Tsukuyomaru said, smug. "I'm sure the mighty Inu-no-taishou can beat a royal flush."
Unfortunately, Inu-no-taishou had other things on his mind. "Shouldn't they be back already?"
Tsukuyomaru sighed. "You know," he mused, twirling a chip between his slender fingers. "For a daiyoukai you're quite paranoid."
Inu-no-taishou huffed, glancing nervously out the window. "I'm not!"
His two companions traded looks, but it was Tsukuyomaru who spoke. "Please. You won't even tell anyone your name."
Inu-no-taishou ignored him, even if he did have a point. "You'd be worried too if your wife and mistress were alone together."
Jinenji's father waved a hand. "Naw. 'sides I have an edge on you boys."
Tsukuyomaru raised a brow. "And that would be?"
"I'm a horse youkai," said Jinenji's father with a waggle of brow. "You figure it out."
"I-see," Tsukuyomaru agreed, dubious, and ignored the horse-youkai's snicker. "I wouldn't be worried either," Tsukuyomaru stated, "but then I wouldn't have a wife and mistress. Furthermore-"
Inu no Taishou uttered a great, longing sigh. "Izayoi does this cute thing with her toes and my beloved is just so dangerous and sexy and I'm-"
"Dead?"
"A two-timing lout?"
Inu-no-Taishou scowled. "Stuck with you two."
