Warning/s: Remember when Jiraiya told Naruto about the three great pitfalls for a shinobi? Well, they're all in action here.
Summary: Tsunade can't resist a game of chance. Jiraiya can't resist…other things.
Notes: Casey asked for Jiraiya/Tsunade, "poker"; I was surprised with how much I enjoyed writing this!


"Royal flush," he says, and lays his hand face-down, grinning that goofy wide grin that a lifetime of slaps have never been able to wipe off his face. "Looks like the pot's mine, Tsunade-hime."

"In your dreams, pervert," she snaps, snatching his cards up to examine them. She's never known him to cheat, but she hates giving up without a fight, and what can you expect of a self-proclaimed Super-Pervert anyway?

Of course he's right; his hand annihilates hers without half trying. She tosses hers down in disgust and pulls off her green coat as well. "I don't know why I ever let you talk me into this…"

"Because you can never resist a challenge," he says calmly. "And admit it. You liked the idea of winning."

Her snarl doesn't quite drown out the crash when the sake bottle meets the side of his head, and neither of them drown out his laughter.
