The King of hearts laid in the hand of cards. A man peered over them and looked across the table at an old man holding his own set of cards. the old man had sweat running down his face. 300 gil sat in the middle of the table. The bar was quiet as they watched the two men play. the bar tender was washing a glass and watching too. the younger man smiled. "Well Gobbo, play your cards." the old man looked up and smiled uneasily. he swallowed hard and looked at his hand again. Then Gobbo smiled, "I'll put down another 300 gil if you let me pick up another card." the young man moved the deck over to Gobbo and nodded. The man discarded and picked up another while he put another 300 gil on the table. Gobbo smiled and placed down his cards. "4 in a row of Jacks, beat that." some of the men gasped as they looked at Gobbo's play. The younger man blinked and leaned over the table. "Large straight" he flipped his cards over and showed his great play. clapping and cheering ran through the bar as the young man took all the gil on the table. Gobbo just sat there in shock. he couldn't believe it. he never lost a game in his life.
Dainket exit the bar with a pocket full of gil. he chuckled about the face Gobbo made. Quite funny.

Raichu stood there outside his home leaning against his cain... it was odd that he thought that he would never have to use one ever.. but he new that he was going to die soon.. old age was finally catching up to him. But a martial arts tournament was coming up... he wanted to be in one final fight before he died... he had been trying to train for it for so long but it was getting harder and harder each day... he could still fight well but at times his heart would start to heart drastically...

Dainket walked down the streets to his home. Nibelheim was his new home, had moved here when he was a teen. He didn't miss Coasta del sol. Hated that place. Too warm and the people were not of friendly matter. Tifa was a very nice woman, but her husband.... he walked up to the house and saw raichu. He was looking really bad these last few weeks. Dainket couldn't help but worry. Dainket walked up to him and smiled. "hey there my old man." he gave raichu a large hug then pulled away. "here." he handed raichu the bag of gil. "600 gil grandpa, that should be helpful yes?"

Dainket laughed. "ok, just worried about you heart, that's all grandpa. I promise you I won't embarass you in public." he laughed again and sat down on a chair. "I can't believe we're gonna fight together at the tournament. I really wish you luck." he looked down and sighed. It would probably be his grandpa's last match. he didn't like the fact that raichu was almoust at the end of his rope. his heart was really failing him. he wondered if it ran in the family. he was still kinda pissed off though. Raichu still never told Dainket how his father died. he probably wouldn't tell untill he was on his death bed.

Dainket nodded, just to make him feel better. "I really don't want to fight against you. I wouldn't feel right grandpa." he walked inside and shut the door. he really had to think about getting a home for himself. then again, he didn't want raichu to be lonely. he didn't want to leave raichu alone at night either. he walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. he took out some orange juice and opened it up and drank from the bottle before raichu could scold him.

Raichu walked over to his seat and sat down and sighed even sitting down hurt sometimes... he hated being old... when he was young he was so strong and now he was just a weak old man... well he wasnt weak he new that but he wasnt anywhere near as strong as he used to be in his youth

Raichu looked at him oddly " why do you have to cut your hair?" he asked in a confused voice " Josh has always had long hair and he never cut it for the tournaments... " he yawned moving his hand through his hair " and mine well as you can see its kinda long but it sticks up everywhere"

Dainket blinked and sat back. "i think i'd fight better if my hair was cut. less destrations. I'm not getting rid of my horns. they will stay forever." he laughed. he stood up and walked to the mirror and took off his trenchcoat and put it on a hanger. he turned and looked at raichu. "do i look........do i look like my dad?"

Dainket sighed and walked back to the couch. "I bet he was a good man. I wish i could meet him. I don't think he would reconize me if he saw me. if i met him, i'd say: Hey dad, it's me, your little boy." he looked at the gorund and sighed. he wanted to see his parents so badly...
