The next day...
Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The largest Airport in France and the sixth busiest airport in the world. hundreds of people come in and leave every day the airport is always full, always full of noise from the flyers.
Sherry, Bruno and Mizoguchi learned this the hard way, attempting to get through the ocean of human beings they were drowning in. The trio were separated from each other in the blitz.
"Master Bruno, mistress Sherry, where are you?" Mizoguchi yelled out.
"Over hear Mizo, just run forward." Bruno yelled. Mizoguchi ran through, not caring if he was bumping into anyone, just wanting to make sure everyone was safe. After getting through the flood, he saw Bruno and Sherry with the bags waiting by the entrance to the ticket services area. Mizoguchi ran up to them and collapsed, out of breath.
"My apologies, masters. The crowd..." Mizoguchi tried to say.
"Don't vorry Mizo, I have to put up with it when I go to Japan. I know how it feels." Sherry replied. Mizo stood up and thanked her before the three walked towards the entrance to the airport.
"So what does your family look like Sherry?" Bruno asked. Sherry pointed her finger towards a group of people near the entrance holding up signs with their names on them.
"Sherry!" The youngest girl, a approximately 7-year old with large glasses. Sherry ran over to them and gave the little girl a hug.
"C'est merveilleux de vos voir." Sherry said to the young girl. The young girl looked at Bruno and pointed towards him.
"Est-ce que ton petit ami?" The young girl asked . sherry looked at him.
"Oui, Oui." Sherry responded. The young girl giggled.
"Lui a l'air idiot." The young girl said. Sherry grew angry but a much older woman next to her lightly flicked her on the forehead for sherry.
"Madeline! Ne parles pas de cette façon sur notre invité!" The older woman said to the young girl.
"Désolé mama!" the young girl replied back in fright. The older woman with short black hair and a rather chubby figure tuned towards Bruno.
"I am so sorry, she never could treat others with the respect ve vant her to." The woman told Bruno. Bruno looked at her surprised along with Sherry.
"You can speak Japanese?" Bruno said.
"Yes indeed, Me and my husband, Alex took a class long ago in case Sherry came back with a Japanese boyfriend." Sherry blushed and looked at the woman angrily.
"Aunt Joceline, please!" Sherry responded. Bruno chuckled at the situation before Sherry turned to him with the same expression which made him shut his mouth immediately.
"Anyways, allow me to introduce ze rest of the family. This young girl is Madeline as I'm sure you know." The woman said pointing towards the young girl. She then pointed towards a man about her age with a beard that was obviously shaved the morning they came and his short hair looked like it was losing its color with age.
"This is my husband, Alex." The man held his hand out and Bruno took it...only to have it shaken so hard Bruno was afraid it would fall off.
"Very nice to meet you Bruno." Alex said. When he was done shaking his hand Bruno pulled his arm back in fear of losing it, at which Alex laughed a bit. The woman pointed towards a boy who looked like he was in his early teens and was wearing what looked like a soccer uniform.
"This is Nicolas, I apologize for his attire, vee had to pick you up vight after picking him up from football." Bruno just smiled.
"It's fine, I'll play foot...soccer, whatever might as well call Hockey, with you later." the two adults, Mizoguchi and sherry laughed lightly at what he said.
"And finally vee have Jacomo." Bruno suddenly remembered that he was the guy Sherry brought up. sherry told him he was very protective and nervous about some people Sherry meets. Bruno thought to himself that he had to make a great first impression. He analyzed Jacomo, he looked to be a bit older than Sherry and Bruno. Much older actually probably by about ten years. He looked quite handsome with his hair that went down to his neck, very polished face and a warm smile. Bruno thought he was not nearly as bad as Sherry described him to be. Bruno held out his hand.
"Very nice to meet you." Bruno said shaking his hand. Jacomo continued to smile.
"Va te faire foutre." Suddenly Alex ran over and smacked Jacomo quite hard on the head. He looked very angry at whatever he just said.
"What?! What did he say?!" Bruno asked. Jacomo turned to him.
"I said velcome to France or at least zat is vhat I vanted to say. Sorry, my thoughts about something else slipped." Jacomo said. Bruno turned to Sherry who looked very frustrated.
"What did he say?" Sherry put her mouth near Bruno's ear and whispered the translation. Bruno's eyes popped open at what he found out. Bruno gulped nervously and thought to himself
This might be harder than I thought...
Meanwhile...
Yusei and Aki were unloading all of their stuff in their new apartment. It certainly was not the fanciest of apartments but Yusei and Aki were not the type of people to show off so they did not mind. Boxes were scattered across the place in the rooms that the contents inside were meant to go. Yusei and Aki were drinking some tea on the dinner table. They were going to unpack later considering how tiring it was just to bring the boxes up to their apartment. The room was quiet for a while as the couple drank their tea relaxing for a bit.
"Sooo Yusei...any idea what we are doing for the wedding?" Aki asked. Yusei looked up at his fiancé intrigued.
"What do you mean?" Yusei asked.
"I mean like what are our plans, who are we inviting, where is the ceremony going to be?" Aki explained. Yusei sighed and began stroking his chin thinking.
"Well...honestly I have always had ideas about what happens but not set in stone. Now for where, I honestly don't know. I am an atheist so probably not going to have it in a church though what about you?"
"Agnostic Christian. I guess having a wedding a hotel would be nice. After the ceremony we'd go to the party , I have been to wedding as a kid that was held at the New Domino hotel. I had a lot of fun there and the party was held outside and it was just gorgeous." Aki told Yusei.
"Sounds perfect to me. If you think it's great, I'd love to do it." Yusei said smiling at the red haired duelist.
"Thanks, I'll check into what we can do for it. Now who are we inviting and who is gonna be your best man?" Aki asked the raven haired duelist.
"Well obviously Jack has to be my best man, it's pretty much mandatory. Now for who I am inviting? Well Martha was pretty much my mother so she has got to come, All my friends from the Satellite, Saiga...Crow, Kiryu, Bruno with Sherry...Leo and Luna...Jin and Yanagi...that pretty much covers everyone who lives in the city I know I think, I might be missing some. You?"
"Mikage just has to come. Carly, Misty if she is able to, Stephanie. My parents...My grandmother told me she has always wanted to see my marriage so she has to come. I guess some of my extended family like my uncles, cousins..." Aki looked down sadly. Yusei looked at her surprised.
"Something wrong?"
"It's just that...here I am inviting all of my family and yet your parents..." Yusei walked over to the female duelist and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up to him and he smiled.
"Don't worry about me, I want this to be a wonderful night for the both of us. While I do wish I could see my parents, Martha was enough of a mother to me. Don't worry about inviting a lot of your family, I'm sure they want to see this and you are just excited. Besides, I want to meet some of your family." Aki smiled and kissed her soon to be husband on the nose.
"Thank you...actually I have a question." Aki said to Yusei.
"Yes?" Yusei asked his wife.
"What are we going to do about Divine?" Aki asked."
"What do you mean?" Aki stood up and started to put her teacup and saucer in the dish washer.
"I mean are we going to invite him? He looks like he has changed but...I want your opinion." Aki explained. Yusei sighed and began stroking his chin.
"We'll see how things go since he is getting released soon." Yusei said.
"Very well. I guess we'll find out then." Aki responded.
Two weeks later...
In the Facility, New Domino's high security prison, someone was being released. As the guards came in to pick him up, he stood up and walked with them without argument. After all he was finally being released, why would he want to argue? No one was ready to say goodbye to him from there though, he made no friends on the inside nor attempted to, he was just going to wait out his sentence. He entered the prisoner release off, the smell of freedom coming closer. He sat down in a chair in front of a large desk where the official sat. The official dug pulled out his file and placed it on his desk.
"Mr. Divine, as they call you. You are finally being released and as prison rules I must return the objects we took from you on entry." The official took a large box and placed it on the desk.
"One deck of duel monsters cards, your wallet, your trench-coat, a couple pencils and a pair of sunglasses." Divine picked up his belongings and put them within the pockets of his coat.
"Thank you very much." Divine said smiling.
"Now Divine, as soon as you step through that door, you are a free man. Anything you want to say before you go?" The official said.
"Nothing I can think of."
"Ok then, remember to take your medication and don't let me see you come back here." The official said jokingly. Divine smiled and opened the door in front of him. The bright light blinded his eyes and it was the darkest time of the year. He covered his eyes and walked out carefully. Outside, no one is there. Not a soul across the front of the prison. Divine just put it off and started walking forward towards the city. As he walked out slowly he noticed a car by the gates. He ran quickly towards it, expecting it to be Aki and Yusei with a ride for him. but to his dismay it was someone else entirely, the security chief, Mikage.
"Officer, I am a changed man now, you don't have to worry." Divine said. Mikage sighed nervously.
"Apparently everyone else does not think the same thing. You are going to be under my care for 5 months. After that you are free as am I from duty. Sorry, stuff like this happens." Mikage explained. Divine sighed as well.
"Very well, I understand. Where will I be staying just out of curiosity?" divine asked.
A while later...
"He's staying here!?" A very confused and disturbed Jack Atlas asked in his and Mikage's bedroom in private. Divine sat on the couch outside waiting for the overall answer.
"I'm sorry Jack, I need to be in close range of him and besides we do have a guest room." Mikage explained. Jack put his mouth near her ear.
"I'm just worried about you, he is an ex-criminal. You have no idea what he could do." Jack whispered.
"So was Carly for a while and your friend Kiryu." Mikage responded. Jack looked at her surprised and then sighed.
"Look...I just want you to be safe is all. It's just that with him here and you..." Mikage giggled and Jack looked at her confused.
"I appreciate your care Jack but I can take care of myself. I love you Jack but Divine looks harmless and it's only for a few months." Jack peaked the door opened and look at Divine nervously. He was still sitting on the couch waiting for an answer. Jack turned back to Mikage.
"You really know what to do just in case?" Mikage nodded.
"Alright...he can stay but let's be cautious ok?" Jack asked. Mikage hugged her boyfriend, thanking him with the blonde duelist blushing at her actions. The two walked out of the room and Divine turned back towards them.
"You may stay Divine. Bedroom is right next to ours." Mikage told him. Divine smiled and stood up to shake their hands.
"I'm sure we will get along very well." Divine said shaking Jack and Mikage's hands.
Traitor! Divine then instantly jumped and turned around. He stared at the empty kitchen behind him.
"Something wrong Divine?" Mikage asked. Divine turned back towards them sighing.
"Nothing, thought I heard someone. Mikage and Jack looked at each other confused.
"We didn't say anything." Jack said. Divine wiped his brow and pulled out his medication from his coat.
"I feel tired, that's probably why. I'm going to go take my medicine." Divine walked towards the guest room and opened the door, shutting it behind him. He went to the bathroom inside and got himself a glass which Mikage helpfully put near the sink. He filled up a glass and dumped a pill near it out of the bottle.
Maybe I should take two. It is for when I'm feeling off and I'm sure hearing voices is a sign of that. Divine thought to himself dumping another pill. He drank the water along with the two capsules and fell asleep on the bed.
It was nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Translations:
C'est merveilleux de vos voir -It's wonderful to see you
Est-ce que ton petit ami?- Is that your boyfriend?
Oui Oui- yes yes
Lui a l'air idiot- he looks like an idiot
Madeline! Ne parles pas de cette façon sur notre invité!-Madeline! Don't speak that way about our guest
Désolé mama!- Sorry mama!
Va te faire foutre-f*** off
Let me know what to improve on as always. And Yes Divine is temporarily living with Jack and Mikage. Sounds like the idea for a sitcom don't it, a criminal living with the chief and her boyfriend.
