Chapter Four

Yusei arrived a little later on. He was shown to the room where Carly was and when he looked through the window he found it rather strange to see Jack sat by her side holding her hand. HE did look uncomfortable though, like he was sat at the edge of the chair futhest away from the bed and looked like he was really trying to pull away , but Carly's hand trapped him. Carly seemed to be asleep.

Yusei opened the door and called Jack's name, "Jack."

Jack looked up at him, then, forcing Carly's hand off of his he went to stand outside with Yusei and talk. Jack closed the door, not looking at Yusei.

"How is she?" Yusei asked, he could see the upset and anger built up on Jack's face.

"She's blind Yusei!" Jack spat out as if the words were a curse. He turned those piercing purple eyes at Yusei. "How do you think she's doing?" It was a rhytorical question. A way for Jack to blow off steam. Yusei knew Jack wasn't taking this easy.

"There's nothing the doctors can do to help her?"

"No. The stupid girl stuck glass in her eyes."

Yusei seemed a little taken back by this. Akiza had said Jack was at the hospital with Carly, but never said what had happened. "Glass? But-" Yusei looked towards Carly, focusing more on the bandage wrapped around her eyes. "Why would she do something like that?"

"Because Yusei the Dark Signers haven't just suddenly returned out of thin air. They've been here tormenting Carly for all the time we've been away. Why Yusei? Why didn't you tell us sooner what was going on?" Jack said now turning and yelling at Yusei. Jack was losing his cool quickly (not that he'd ever really had it).

Yusei put his hands up in defence. "I swear Jack, I only found out a few days ago. If I'd had known that something like this was going to happen, I would have-"

"What? Would have done what, Yusei?"

"I don't know, but I would have done something to try and help her. You can't blame this all on me Jack. This isn't my fault that they're returning... How were they tormenting her?" Yusei asked.

"Carly said she could see Aslla Piscu and the memories of being a dark signer. I'm not sure what it was she kept seeing, but it was connected to her past and she said it made her do this stupid stunt."

"It took control of her body?" Yusei asked, concerned he was already too late to help her.

"No. She said she coudn't take the visions the monster kept showing her."

"I see..." Yusei started to think of the card Jack had discribed to him. He hadn't gone into too much detail about what happened when he dueled Carly, but he had mentioned illusion tricks and posetion. "Aslla Piscu must have somehow posessed Carly some way and made her see what he wanted to see. I best warn Akisa about Misty before she does anything-"

"What about Carly? There's no way she'll be able to duel now! She can't see a damn thing."

"You'll just have to stay with her Jack. Make sure that you can couch her into winning. Do you have her cards?"

"No. They must have been left back at her flat."

"Right, well, you stay here with her. If the duelest does arrive here before I get back, then you'll have to give her your cards Jack. I'll get her cards and warn Akiza like I said."

Jack was looking down to the floor with a violent hopelessness sharping his eyes. Yusei watched him clench his fists and knew that Jack needed to let off some steam and soon, but Carly needed to be safe first. "Hey." said Yusei, placing his hand on Jack's shoulder. "I'll be back soon and then I'll take over watching Carly and you can go let off some steam, OK?"

Jack pulled his arm away. "That won't work. The only thing I really want to do is to get even for Carly and make those Earth Bound Immrtals suffer fr what they've done. The only way I can do that is if I'm by Carly's side. Besides... She needs me Yusei." Jack said, sounding softer in his voice.

Yusei moved his hand off Jack's shoulder, seeing the real Jack Atlas holding back tears. Yusei nodded his head. "I'll be back before you know it." He said and left.

Carly's flat hadn't been touched by the cops yet, which was a good thing for Yusei. He made his way inside, finding the broken mess and bloody state Carly and Jack had left it in. Yusei looked around the all-in-one apartment Carly had, not finding her deck of cards in the kitchen or living room.

Then he looked in the bedroom and found them. Carly hadn't just made a mess in the main room, but in her bedroom too. Things were knocked over and broken, but here he found her cards were all over the floor and bed, as if she'd thrown them up into the air.

Yusei bent down, getting onto one knee as he picked the first faced down card up. Yusei felt himself a little confused and shaken at what he saw. There looking up back at him was the Fortune Lady Light. Yusei was sure Jack had meantion Carly's deck being a fairy deck, not a Fortune lady's. But as Yusei picked up the rest of the cards, he found that Carly's deck was the Fortune Lady's deck that she had thought with against Jack when she was a dark signer. What did this mean? What was going on with Carly and her deck?
