It hadn't occurred to him that his stupid host would disobey. It hadn't occurred to him that Ryou would protect his friends. Instead of a simple victory and the gaining of the Millennium Puzzle that he yearned for so badly, he suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Pharaoh. It definitely had not occurred to him that the boy would be naïve enough to try to sacrifice himself by possessing one of his own cards. He never thought that the Pharaoh would be clever enough to cause him to switch places with his foolish Master. If the teenager had simply been quiet and done as we told, he could have saved himself the wrath of the spirit of the Ring when he returned to his host. Still, even after his rage had dissipated and he continued his conquest, the memory of the incident, and its impact on the thief, would not fade. He had lost because it never occurred to him that Ryou would care enough for others to bring about his own possible destruction.
"I wonder what that would feel like," Bakura muttered.
