Heartaches

Chapter Two

By Kellyq

The clock struck passed twelve. Jack had bandaged all of Yusei's wounds and the two lovers were now laying on the couch, holding each other close.

"I should get going before Jeager comes," Jack said.

Yusei's expression half darkened as he watched his boyfriend walk to the door. "I don't think it's fair that we can't see each other that often." the dark-haired teen closed his right eye. "I do miss you when we're not together."

"I'll call you later," the blonde-teen promised.

Yusei couldn't help but chuckle of how forgetful his boyfriend would get at times. Jack turned and felt soft pink lips on his. The blonde-teen wrapped his arms around Yusei and pulled him closer to his body.

"I love you, Jack," Yusei murmured, staring into violet eyes. "And don't worry about me. You know that I can take care of myself."

Jack smirked and shook his head. "I'll talk to you later."

The blonde kissed his boyfriend before he turned and walked out. Jack closed the door and there stood Jeager and Mina - Jack's house keeper. Jeager was a short, thin man. He had real short purple hair that stuck out behind his pointy ears with ear rings on each. Jeager had slanted green-eyes, and his eyebrows were shaped like check marks. Jeager's lips were a soft red color. Jeager wore a white shirt, with black pants. The trench coat Jeager had on was red on the outside and black in the inside, with yellow lining. Mina had short dark-blue hair with hazel brown eyes, and fair skin. She wore a white blouse, blue jacket and a matching skirt.

"Are you done playing around with Mr. Fudo? Because you forgot your dinner plans with Carly ...." Jeager started to say.

Jack closed his eyes, ignoring what the shorter man had to say. He didn't forget meeting up with the black-haired woman, Yusei was his main focus.

"She was really upset," Mina informed. "So upset that Godwin even had a chat with her!"

Jeager chuckled at the memory ...

Jeager pulled away from Godwin when they both heard a knock at the door. Jeager slipped out of bed, grabbed his robe. He walked to the door and opened it. Mina stood there with a worried expression.

"Mina?" Godwin called out, getting the young woman's attention.

Mina bowed immediately. "I'm sorry sir! Carly's on the phone! She's really upset that Jack didn't show up at the restaurant!"

Godwin sighed as Mina handed the phone to him. Jeager couldn't help but chuckle, knowing full well where Jack was.

"Miss Nagisa," Godwin said in a soothing tone. "Now calm down my dear. You've called him and all you got was his voice-mail. I understand that you're upset. I'll talk to Jack when I find him."

"I'll go talk to her right now," Jack said, sounding a little irritated.


A young girl in her mid teens sat in a chair in the solitude of her own bright apartment. She went by the name of Carly. A bright energetic woman with black strait hair that went past her waist. Carly had beautiful dark-green eyes, and soft fair skin. She wore a white shirt with blue stripes. The vest she had on over the shirt was orange, and the pants went snug around her waist. Next to Carly was a pair of spiral shaped glass.

"Does Jack really hate me?" she asked herself. "I do try and make him happy, but has he once smiled? What am I doing wrong?"

"I don't hate you," came Jack's voice.

Carly jumped a little and turned her head to see the blonde standing there. "H-how did you get in?"

"You left your door unlocked." Jack walked up and sat across the table. "Sorry that I missed our outing. Something came up."

Carly smiled, trying to keep her emotions at bay. "That's okay." She got up. "Do you want something to drink?"

Jack shook his head and rose from his seat. "No thanks. I just came to apologize."

Carly lowered her head in shame. "I'm sorry that I got you in trouble. I was just worried about you, that's all."

Jack shrugged it off. "I'll call you when it is a good time to have our outing."

Carly's face lit up, feeling her heart soar. "Okay! I'll see you soon!"

Jack was already out the door before she squealed with delight.
