Kenny: Just start the story already!

Blind Tears Chapter 3- Ms. Megumi and a mysterious old woman!

AZ: Oooh! Sounds mysterious alright, now doesn't it?

Kenny: Kind of… Now back to the story!

Misao's POV

"Misao! Misao! Get up! You need a bath and Megumi-san will be here in two hours time!" Okon was yelling loudly.

"I'm getting up already! Argh! Geez, you'd think they'd be more nice to me since I'm blind…" Misao said.

I guess I'm not sad anymore… But I miss seeing things! No wait a minute… How the hell am I supposed to take a bath if I can't see where I'm going! Damn it Okon!

"Here Misao I'll help you find your way…" Shiro's voice came.

"Thanks Shiro… No wait… HEY! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM YOU PERVERT! GET OUT AND TELL OKON OR OMASU TO HELP ME!" Misao yelled. She was absolutely smoking, like she was on fire or something…

(AZ: Sorry about the pervert part, but I couldn't resist. Could you imagine Misao like that?

Kenny: Smoking on fire? No, but I could see you doing that. grins

AZ: WHAT? I AM GONNA KILL YOU! Smacks him I just had ice cream, so you're lucky this time!

Kenny: God, can't you take a joke? What's with you?

AZ: I'm sorry.

Kenny: Good. gives her a hug )

"Misao, same as always…. Hey Omasu! Misao needs you!" Shiro said and left.

"Misao, you really need to tone it down a bit. Get used to feeling around the hall, and soon you'll find your way around." Omasu's voice came out.

"Rrrr…. Fine."

"Gosh Misao, you're just like a cat. Or a kitten. Our cute little koneko! Since you've growled, can you purr too?" Okon's voice came out of nowhere.

"I am not a kitten! Now let's go to the bath!" Misao stomped after them.

2 hours later-

Megumi's POV

"Misao-chan! It's good to see you again!" Misao could hear Megumi's voice drift through the front door.

(a/n: I don't really know if Megumi met Misao already, but in this fic they are actually good friends and I kind of decided to make her more of a mother /big sister figure.)

"It's always good to s- hear your voice again, Megumi-san." Misao had her eyes open, and they were blank.

Poor Misao-chan. It must be painful to talk about what happened to her. Notice how she changed the see into hear. Okon and Omasu did a good job of bandaging her, but I have to make sure her cuts aren't infected. They looked painful; a little red even.

"I missed you, Misao-chan. Now that Kaoru's married to Ken-san I have no one left to tease but rooster-head." I gave her a hug, and she hugged me back.

"I missed you too. How long are you staying with us in the Aoi-ya?"

"About 3 weeks. We'll have lots of fun and go shopping! Now, let's go get settled with tea and everything, and then I can look at your cuts."

"Okay. I think you're staying in the room next to mine. This way please."

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" I was wondering as we walked through the halls. Misao was feeling all around the hall, like Omasu said she should.

I believe she instinctly knows where to go. Well, she obviously lived here for years- she probably knows it like the back of her hand. I wonder where… Shinomori is…

"Okay. I believe this is your room." Misao pointed to a door.

"How do you know?" I asked in shock.

"I don't know… but I can feel that this is your room. Its like when I lost my sight I gained something else… I can see things in my mind like they're not there; almost as if I can see again. I can't explain any better than that."

We must figure this out… Perhaps she's somehow gained another sense to replace sight. Maybe I can ask that mysterious old woman I knew one time before… Or maybe Misao hit her head too hard… It was hard not to laugh at that.

"Okay. I brought some green tea with me; would you like me to brew some?" Megumi and Misao both loved green tea, and Megumi knew a certain ice man who liked it too.

"Yes! I love green tea. Aoshi-sama likes it too…" Suddenly she fell silent. Megumi raised an eyebrow. It obviously had something to do with him.

"Misao, tell me… Did something happen with Shinomori-san? I thought he was living here, but I didn't see him around." I leaned forward and rested my hand on her shoulder.

"Will you tell me what happened? And our tea is ready," I said as I started pouring some for her and I.

"Alright… It started a couple of days ago. I wanted Aoshi-sama to go with me to the market to buy a present for Omasu. We found some and bought our gifts." She sipped her tea and started again,

"We were walking down a alley, and Aoshi-sama said he heard something, but I didn't hear anything. Then a whole bunch of dirty bandits showed up and started attacking us! We were beating them up and we didn't notice that one of them had a gun. We started to attack him, but he shot glass by my face and- and- now I'm blind, and Aoshi-sama isn't here…" Tears started to well up from under her lashes, and something else- blood.

"Misao, your eyes haven't healed… I'm going to clean them, and bandage them. Then I'll put medicine on them; they might be infected." I pointed out.

"I am sorry Misao-chan. And the others don't know where he is?" I gave her a hug and started working on her eyes.

Misao winced-"They said he was away on business, but I didn't ask him to go on a mission. What if he doesn't come back? What if he hates me now that I'm blind? He couldn't love a girl who can't see him, and he doesn't even treat me like I'm a full grown woman…" Tears started coming more quickly, and they seemed hot.

"Misao-chan… I think I know who can help you with your new 'sense'… She may be able to teach you how to fight when you're blind, and I know she has a way with the spirits, or at least that's what I heard… Do you want to see her? She is here in Kyoto." I wondered if she'd do it.

Maybe I can give her a push in the right direction…

"And besides, I think Aoshi would be very impressed with a woman who can defend herself blindly, and has a sixth sense…" At this very moment, I could've sworn I had fox ears, but of course the stupid Rooster head would call me vixen… But I was born to do this; Megumi the doctor and Megumi the vixen matchmaker…. Perfect….

"You think so? I will do it. I promised myself I will be strong, for Aoshi-sama and myself… Can we see her tomorrow?" Misao's face looked hopeful.

"WHAT? Misao-chan, your eyes need to heal first! Then we will see her! And we can go shopping for a new kimono… Oh this will be such fun!" I said happily, all traces of anger and indignation gone.

"sweat drops …."
