TIME: 9:03 PM | DAY: SATURDAY

LOCATION: KAIBA.CORP.

The room was pitch black and cold as ice. Silence was present in the room with negative emotions of emptiness and...Despair. Despair cause by his countless, endless failures and emptiness reflected by the lack of ambition and devotion in life....With no bright future, victories or goals...The only thing that remain behind was the scars of his shameful defeats against the Pharoah and the emption of his presences....

"I was so close to dueling the Pharaoh. Everything was constructed and analysed according to my plans! Darn it, I was so close!" Kaiba hissed in pure frustration, as he sat on the chair behind his office desk. He held his throbbing and exhausted head in the palm of his hands. His elbows were trembling on the table, his body shivered in pure agitation and annoyances at the malfunction of his machine.

"How did I let this happen! The victory was in my grasp! I was so close to gaining my pride and glory that the pharaoh stole from me long ago! Now...I feel nothing!" Kaiba shouted at top of his lungs in pure fury and frustration! He jumped out of his expensive leather chair like a dangerous lion in the jungle. Leaving his paperwork abandoned on the desk, he walked briskly towards the enormous window behind him. He placed two trembling hands on the cold glass, feeling its coldness caressing his warm tensed hands. His narrowed dark blue eyes gazed down at the beautiful view of entire domino from Kaiba.corp. Feeling his heart beating faster against his chest at the awful sensation of nothingness...

"All my hard work was nothing but a failure! A wasted opportunity and an eternal curse of lost pride against the Pharoah! Not even that Agami's Quantum cube was able to withstand the dimension travel pressure to the afterlife! It let me stay there for few moments and then turned in to dust! Malfunctioning my machine!" Kaiba whispered. His icy cold voice was filled with irritation and disappointment. His body became even more tense at the terrible, sickening feeling of no accomplishments achieved so far. The tournament to lure Yugi Moto and Diva Agami in order to resurrect the Pharaoh!

The constant strive of his research team in the Egypt to dig out the broken pieces of millennium puzzle and the blasted invection of machine to travel back to afterlife! WAS ALL FOR NOTHING! A complete waste of his time and money...And in the end, he only received a sensation of emptiness and...Lost purpose...A broken soul deprived from his ambition to something and now, he felt...So lost.

"I will never gain my righteous victory against the Pharoah will I?....With no power of millennium items to go back, with no power of Agami's quantum cube...I can never face the pharaoh...Nor my resounding defeats can be vanquished..." Kaiba murmured to himself, feeling his soul to crumble down into pieces at the enormous failure to meet the Pharaoh. Remembering the time when Atem lost his duel against Yugi in a ceremonial duel. Entering the gates of afterlife and walking away with no regrets in his heart...How he felt this same awful sensation of nothingness when Atem departed...Making him aimless and lost in his purpose...And now after all the trouble he went to bring the Pharaoh back - even enhancing his dueling skills by building a perfect digital body of Pharaoh in His private dome, in fact his strange multi-coloured hair took the longest! But still he achieved nothing!

"Sorry to disturb you with my presence Sir, but your meeting with the Shareholders is in 3 minutes. Allow me to escort you to the board room Mr. Kaiba."

Kaiba snapped out of his disrupting maze of thoughts, blinking his dark blue eyes in confusion at first and then realized his secretary; Naomi was talking to him, reminding him of his obligations. He took a deep breath through his nostrils and made his famous stone-cold and deadly serious face. He turned around fully to her, his head high with his hands folded against his masculine chest. His ego boasting and his entire posture looked proud and dominant, even though he was nothing but a shattered soul inside.
