I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Although I think it is the greatest game of all time.

"Yugi..." Seto Kaiba was standing on the roof of the Kaiba Corps building staring out at the city of Domino with a look of poisonous hate.

The first time we met it was on the field of battle. You won. Every time after that you have kept victory just out of my reach. Ever since then you have been known as the worlds greatest duelist and I...

Seto Kaiba's entire body shook with pure unadultured rage as he thought on...

Have been known as the former champion!

As he concluded this thought he struck the ground in his fury.

"Yugi!" Seto bellowed over the city, the shout echoing back from every building.

"You took the only thing I ever wanted! You robbed me of my title and left me to suffer!"

"Do you have any idea what it's like to lose everything?"

Seto said this in a whisper as memories of the past came flooding back.

Mom...Dad. Seto said his face growing dark with sorrow. You left me and my brother alone. We suffered in that orphanage until that tyrant Gozaboro adopted us after our chess game.

Seto smiled as he remembered the look on Gozaboro's face when he put him in checkmate.

Although the orphanage was bad what followed wasn't a picnic either. Seto recalled how Gozaboro pushed him to the brink of insanity with the studying he forced him into day after day. He even took away his toys when Seto failed to meet his standard of perfection. The only thing that saved him from destruction was when Mokuba snuck him his Duel Monsters cards in one of his books.

That's when I resolved to never let anyone stand in my way. Seto's face hardened into a mask of determination as he thought about how he used Gozaboro's own men against him and eventually drove him from the company and his life.

That was the most satisfying moment of my entire life. Seto grinned a grin that would be suitable on the face of Satan himself.

After that it was perfect I crushed all who opposed me and I had everything a person could desire.

Then I met Yugi...Seto's eyes turned thoughtful as he remembered that first time he overheard them talking about that rare card.

Then all fell apart...And at this thought Seto closed his eyes and remembered what followed. Mokuba being kidnapped, his company being taken over and Yugi winning the tournament at Duelis Kingdom. Not content to let it be Seto had organized his own tournament.

But again Yugi won! His eyebrow quivered as his emotion switched randomly from anger, to grief, to the complete loss of mind.

After that his fame was worldwide. His God cards made him unbeatable and he knew it. So I went to the man who created Duel Monsters in the first place. I dueled him and obtained the cards I needed to take Yugi down. But something went wrong with the duel and he won again!

"Yugi..." Seto said with a voice full of thought. "One day I will defeat you and reclaim my title, even if it costs me my soul." And with that Seto strode to the elevator clenching his fists and bearing an expression grim enough to pass for the countenance of Death itself.
