I lost.

This time for good. This time there's no way out, not for me. Was it fate? Was I always meant to lose, no matter what advantages I had? No, I don't believe in fate. He was lucky, that's all. Damned lucky.

Then I guess that makes me unlucky. Unlucky to fall every time I try to stand. After everything that happened to me, I think I deserve a little bit of happiness. A little bit of success. But no, I'm trapped here, and I can't find my way out again.

At least here, it's sort of my home. My only the home, the only one I can truly remember. The darkness that cannot harm me, for we are one and the same. I sit, though I'm not too sure if I do. Time and space don't really exist here. I am the master of this place, which makes me the master of nothing. I laugh to myself; a hollow, empty sound. That sounds about right. Master of Nothing, that's me, no matter all the things I boast about, none of it mattered in the end. I still lost.

I could say he cheated. But I was the one who made the rules. He didn't cheat; he just found a way around them. One I forgotten to factor in when I dreamt up my slaved over plans. I had thought them perfect, flawless. I was wrong. Nothing I create will ever be flawless, for I myself am deeply flawed. I could go on fighting forever and I will never beat him.

I sigh and lie down in this fake real world that exists in some place no-one can truly comprehend, not even me. I resign myself to forever. I wonder if I'll fade away from this place, stay here so long I'll fade from existence. I doubt it. I'm a God, no matter what they think of me. It's almost impossible to believe I was beaten by a mere human. I will never fade. I may be forgotten, but I shall never fade. Not truly.

I don't know how long I lie there before I hear it. A pulsing in the distance. I recognise it at once. Anger. Deep hatred and pure anger from some new human. I smirk and pull myself towards it, wondering how long it has been. Maybe they're all still there, and I can kill them all one by one for their insolence. Of course, he won't be there. I felt him leave. Hopefully he shall return soon. Life was never any fun without him. An opponent who's a challenge is always fun, no matter how much I hate him.

I'll get you, Yami, just you wait and see.

It's supposed to be from Bakura's point of view, but can be from Marik's if you want. After he loses Memory World, he ends up trapped in the Shadow Realm since he's not really human, so can't die.
