A/N: Chapter two is here and I have nothing to say really. Just that I hope you enjoy and thank you Scooby82101 for checking this over.

Yusei looked at the screen of the phone in awe. While the screen was small, the message was so big for Yusei it was as if the screen was movie-theater sized. He blinked and rubbed his eyes a couple times to make sure they were not playing tricks on him. Out of all the things he expected to do today, pack up, clean up Poppo time and more, the least he expected was this.

Yusei went to the garage and locked the door. He dialed Mikage's number immediately, so excited his frantic fingers sometimes failed to press the right buttons. He had too many questions plaguing him, even more than after he talked to Aki. As the phone rang and he put it to his hear, the ring became a heartbeat to him, things heating up. He begged Mikage to pick up the phone. And then...a click.

"Hello?" Mikage asked.

"Hey, Mikage it's me Yusei. I got that text from Jack, is it true?" Yusei asked, sounding like he just ran 100 miles.

"Yes I am afraid, Divine is getting released. After his treatment in the hospital he will be released in a few weeks." Yusei suddenly had a confused look on his face.

"Hospital?" He asked.

"He had an allergic reaction to the eggs in the prison food that made him dizzy. He was sick to the point where he fell down a flight of stairs and needed instant medical attention." Mikage explained.

Yusei stood there quietly, not saying a word. He began to wonder about things, he had an idea which could possibly answer some of his questions. It would be tough to accomplish but Yusei was determined to do it.

"Is it possible for me to come and visit Divine." By the sound of it, Mikage jumped up shocked and gasped in confusion.

"Wh-why do you need to visit him...I thought..." Mikage tried to ask.

"It's about something really important. I have some questions I want to ask him. Please Mika, you've got to help me." Yusei responded.

"Why? What is this about?" Mikage asked.

"I am afraid I can't tell you right now. It's between me and Divine." Yusei explained grimly. Yusei heard Mikage sigh and was silent for a while.

"Alright. I guess since I'm still chief I can allow it. However he will be restrained to his hospital bed and tied down. His powers by the way have been disabled by an attachment to his back so he will have no chance of getting to you physically. However, please be careful still. You don't know what he can do emotionally." Mikage told the raven haired duelist.

"Thanks, I'll be at the hospital later. Bye." Yusei told the soft, voiced woman. He hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. He sighed and sat down on his D-wheel in the garage.

So today, I meet one of my old rivals again.

Later on in the afternoon, Yusei drove up the front of the hospital. It was as big as ever with many windows stretched across and a red cross in the middle of the building. Outside laid a fountain of the two snakes wrapped around the staff, spitting water out, the famous symbol of doctors.

Yusei walked inside and saw how big the front desk lounge was. He saw many people waiting to be treated and people coming out of the hospital as well as coming in. He walked up to the front desk and the woman looked at him apathetically.

"Do you have an appointment or are seeking treatment of any kind." the woman said in a monotone voice.

"Yes, I am Yusei Fudo, I am visiting someone?" The woman started typing on her computer for a bit while Yusei started taking deep breaths, trying to calm down.

"Yes Mr. Fudo, you are looking for Mr. Sayer. Room A113. Now you are aware this is a prisoner you're visiting, correct? The woman asked.

"Yes."

"Very good, guards are stationed outside.  Goodbye." The woman said, going back to work on her computer. Yusei ran to the room told to him.

After a while of searching, Yusei came to the room told to him. He took a deep breath in front of the room and reached out for the door knob. However, when his hand touched the knob, he suddenly felt frozen. Yusei gulped nervously.

How much has changed to him while he was in prison? Is he angry at me or perhaps he has changed. What is he like now?   Yusei thought to himself.

These questions repeated numerous times in his head as he opened the door slowly. He walked inside slowly and looked to his right. There he was.

Divine. Same brown hair, same fox like face. a bandage wrapped across his head from the injury.

He restrained to his bed with wrists wrapped around his bed though there was a remote inside his hand so he could change to the channel on the TV in front of him. From the sound of things he was watching "The Shawshank Redemption" Yusei chuckled nervously at the situation. He walked slowly towards the bed, Divine almost not noticing him. When Yusei was halfway between the door and the bed only then Divine turned to him.

And he smiled invitingly.

"Well now...Look who has come to visit." Yusei gulped nervously again. Was it a false smile with Divine waiting to strike at his emotions?

"I have to say, it has been a while hasn't it? I do apologize; I wish we could meet again formally, in a much more inviting environment." Was this the same man that Yusei was so nervous to meet? The same man who wanted to take over the world at some point?

"So....How have things been going?" Yusei asked, not knowing what else to say.

Divine smiled and turned off the television. "I have really changed since my incarceration Yusei. I am no longer that petty evil man I once was. I've changed...and for the better. If anything Yusei, you putting me in prison has made me happier rather than angrier.

Yusei looked Divine surprised but he was a little happy for him. Seeing a once enemy turn into a friend was quite a nice change. Yusei pulled up a stool nearby and sat down, Divine looking at him surprised.

"I need to ask you something…What was your life with Aki like?" Divine looked at Yusei confused and sighed. He smiled faintly looking towards Yusei.

"Well I could tell you in short that those years were a beacon of light in my life. Before I met Aki I was a weak, angry, bitter man. I hated everything, including myself." Divine told the Raven haired duelist.

"But why, how did she change your life? I thought you changed hers, how did she change your life? Yusei asked. Divine chuckled at the duelist.

"I'll have to explain something that goes back even before I met Aki. You see...I discovered my powers at a young age, I believe 7 or 8...I don't remember...nor would I like to." Divine started to look down in a depressed manner.

"When I discovered my powers, everything changed between me and my family. My mother was terrified of me, jumping when I entered the room, often looking at me nervously, though she still tried to love me as a son. My father on the other hand...treated me kindly...in a false manner. He was using me to his own advantages, often using my powers to break property, destroy ATMs to steal money and other acts. I ignored it though as it meant my father treated me kindly, I was a very foolish boy. Then came the day my father requested me to kill one of his opponents from work. He wanted me to use my powers to destroy him. I refused to do it and my father got angry at me. My mother tried to protect me but my father punched her and pushed her away."

The whole world was silent, even Yusei's heartbeat from hearing the story. Divine turned back to Yusei with the same grim expression.

"Then I finally could not take it. I grew angry, no, enraged. I used my powers to stop my father from hurting her further and threw him across the room. I then used my powers to crush him from the inside, make his bones collapse inside him before moving towards his organs. I stopped knowing that I would be doing what I just spoke out against. I turned to my mother, walking closer to her looking for some comfort. However she pushed me away terrified of me and called me a demon. She started throwing things at me which made me run away from home. I never saw my parents again. I dedicated myself to hating humanity there, even hating myself for having the powers in the first place. I grew up on the street, trying to survive the best I could, growing more and more bitter and I started the arcadia movement though I still thought of my followers as nothing more than fools."

Yusei eyes froze in a state of shock. He could not believe what he was hearing. To think he went through all of this at a young age. Then it began to sound familiar to Yusei. Divine smiled knowing what Yusei was thinking.

"When I met Aki on the street I naturally thought she was nothing and I was going to leave her, she was not my problem. Then Aki admitted to her powers and her parents abandoning her. I stopped in my tracks and turned back to her. I found someone who had gone through similar troubles, parents who feared me and no home. I decided then she needed a home and someone to love her and I wrapped my coat around her. I showed her my powers to gain her trust and took her to my home. The years I spent with Aki were some of the happiest years of my life, I felt like I found someone who understood me and she in turn found someone who could understand her, she even once said I was family to her."

Yusei looked down on the ground depressed, head hanging. He sighed deeply Divine looked at him confused.

Well...I was right...after all of this...he deserves someone who could love him and love Aki more than me.  Yusei took off his glove revealing his hand with his engagement ring. Divine smiled at the sight of it joyfully.

"You and Aki are getting married!?! Unbelievable! It must be exciting for you two." Yusei took of the ring, confusing Divine and the duelist grasped it in his hand. He walked closer to Divine and placed it in his restrained hand, to which Divine grew more confused by the second.

"Why? What's going on? Divine asked. Yusei sighed once more.

"You're more deserving of Aki than me. You did far more for her than I have ever done for her. I don't deserve her." Divine's confused face disappeared, this time being replaced by an expression that confused Yusei, disappointment.

"Yusei, even when we were enemies...I thought you were a smart lad. You didn't seem like the type of person who would overlook certain things. You seem like you cared about your teammates....But that was one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard in my life." Yusei looked at the bed ridden prisoner surprised.

"You think Aki would be better off with me...but what about her? What does she want?" Yusei looked to his left; His depressed expression returning.

"She would be better off with you. She'll be a lot happier." Yusei said. divine looked at Yusei worried.

Suddenly, the door burst open. A woman about Yusei's age crashed in with burgundy hair, and a silver hair piece. Aki Izayoi had entered to room and to the concern of the two men, tears were streaming from her eyes.

"Please stop talking like that Yusei! You're completely wrong!" Aki wailed to Yusei. The two kept looking at her confused, from her sudden entrance and her claim. Mikage walked in slowly behind, looking at Aki with concern.

"If you are wondering, I called Aki to come here as well. I had a feeling it might have had something to do with the two of you, possibly your marriage. Sometimes I hate it when I'm right." Mikage explained to everyone in the room. Aki walked up to Yusei and wrapped her arms around him, like the tightest rope, she was never letting go.

"Yes Yusei, Divine was like a father figure to me and I really appreciate him for that...but I still love you for what you are. I love you because you are en extremely nice guy, you care about me and you are willing to put those you love over yourself. That's what I love about you, not just an event or two in my life.

Yusei looked at his fiancé surprised. She was acting the complete opposite of what he first thought her emotions would be.

"Yusei..." Divine said to Yusei. The black haired duelist turned to him along with Aki.

"Do you love Aki? Be honest with me." Aki turned to Yusei and Yusei nodded nervously.

"Who do you think will be better for Aki? An older man who was more of a father figure rather than a lover figure who also ruined everything and has a chance of going back to his old ways, or a kind intelligent, gentle man who is pretty much a boy scout and the older man knows he'll do the right thing?"

"I'm guessing the gentleman?" Divine nodded.

"Step over here." Yusei walked closer towards divine. Divine opened up his hand and revealed the ring inside.

"Go make her happy you gentleman." Yusei smiled and picked up the ring. He put it back on his finger and hugged his soon to be wife. The two hugged for a while with Divine and Mikage smiling as they did

"I think you three should go home now, I need to get some rest and take my medication. I've been feeling weird lately and the pills help me. I will definitely visit you two when I am released." Divine said.

"Thank you, we look forward to it." Aki said, kissing him on the forehead. Divine blushed and the three ran off to go home. Divine was all alone in his room. A nurse walked in to remove his restraints but she too left immediately.

Divine took his medicine and went to sleep on his bed. While he did he began to think about Aki and how much she had changed since she was under his care and when he first met here. He also started thinking about her wedding. He smiled at how mature she has become.

"She is just like my own daughter, I feel so proud of her."

A/N: Please let me know what to improve on. Betcha did not see Divine coming in now did ya? And there is more of him to come so be prepared.
