Ch. 5

There's a Time For Everything

I awoke with a start. Someone was prodding me in the shoulder, and hard. I opened my eyes and almost glared at whoever it was, but was forcibly reminded that I was still blind. I concentrated, and then realized it was Yusuke. I grabbed for his finger blindly, to make him stop poking me, but completely missed.

"Hey, blind-girl—"

"My name is Ynn, not blind-girl."

"Yea, yea. Anyways, Koenma thinks he has a solution to your problem."

"How does he know what my problem is?"

I had not told anybody that I could see who they were even though I was blind. To them, I was struggling between being completely blind, and being able to see. An odd problem to have, most people, no matter how odd they may be, would choose sight. However, I had not told any of the others about my problem, so then how could Koenma know? And at that, how could he have a solution to it?

Yusuke shrugged. "Koenma knows a lot of stuff we wouldn't think he would. It would be best to just figure he knows everything so as to avoid being surprised."

I sighed. "Fine. Is he here?"

"Are you kidding?" when I didn't answer, he added, "No. Koenma doesn't leave his office unless under critical circumstances."

"Fine then."

I attempted to get up, but ended up falling out of bed. A strong arm grabbed me before I hit the ground, and I assumed Yusuke had caught me. He didn't say anything, but swept me up in his arms and walked for a while. I had no idea what was happening until I felt a tingling along my entire body and realized we were most likely passing through some sort of magical field – a portal. The feeling passed and then Yusuke sat me down in a chair.

"Ah, Ynn." Said Koenma's voice. "Good to see you again. Listen, I know you're confused as to what to do, to stay as you are (seeing but not seeing) or to see with your own sight again. As you know, your eye doctor gave you special drops to keep you from going blind. If you take these, then your sight will be restored. However, if you stop taking them again, you will once again succumb to darkness. The problem is that while you are blind, you can recognize people's spirits, which could be of great advantage to both you and human kind. However, being blind is a great handicap. Now, I have a solution. Take the drops and heal yourself of your blindness, then, whenever you wish, you make take a different type of drops that my chemists have created to force you to become temporarily blind, and therefore allow you to see other peoples' souls."

Yusuke stood there and I could just imagine him looking dumbfounded, but to me it made perfect sense. I wouldn't have to choose one or the other, but have both. I sighed and nodded. Then I cocked my head to the side.

"Koenma, how will I know when to use the drops?"

"There's a time for everything, Ynn. You'll know when."

"Right, well I—"

But I was not allowed to say anything else. Someone had grabbed my head and pulled it backwards. They then held my eyes open and applied cool drops to my eyes. I blinked a few times at the burning sensation, then squinted as I once again saw light. Things progressively grew brighter until I could see everything. It was Yusuke who had applied the drops to my eyes and now pushed the small bottle into my hands. He then pushed another bottle, this one being clear and full of black liquid, into my hands. I didn't have to guess as to which one did what. I sighed and stood up.

"Ynn, go ahead and go home, Yusuke stay here, I have a mission for you and your team."

I shrugged and stepped through the portal that appeared beside me and found myself in the kitchen of my apartment.
