---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------

I awoke with a start for the third time that week. Groaning, I sat up and looked over to the clock on my bedside table. Just great. Here I am, awake at 3 am, and I have an important bussiness meeting in 5 hours. And I know just who to blame: Yugi Motou. If it was'nt for him I would'nt be having these damn nightmares in the first place. My frown quicky turned to a smirk as I got up and headed to the kitchen for a glass of water. Oh well. I'll never have a single nightmare again if all goes according to plan.

I smirked wider as I put my glass under the running water. Soon, Yugi, soon. Soon enough I'll have my revenge, and we'll settle this once and for all. On that fateful day you took my pride, my dignity,and my self-respect. You took everything from me, Yugi, and I won't let you escape scot-free. You will pay.

I had that duel won and you know it. But, no, I, Seto Kaiba, had to beaten by some no-name seemingly third-rate duelist. And to make matters even worse, you had to go and save my brother and I, making me indebted to you wether I liked it or not.

But the funny thing is, even after you ruined my life, I just can't bring myself to hate you. It's not like I don't want to, I really do, but I can't. You saved my brother and I and I don't hate you for it. Sure, you infuriate me, but I don't hate you. You took the title of 'King Of Games' ,pharoah, which was rightfully mine, but I just can't bring myself to hate you. Despise, yes, but hate...I'm not so sure.

I need closure. I need to beat you, Yugi, show you that I am better. But I can't, because I'm not. Yugi. You win.

I walked back to my room and went back to sleep and had the best sleep I've had ever since that fateful day.
