QUESTION FOR MY READERS: did anyone guess that Ryou would lose his eyesight? I mean if I'm following Rapunzel that would mean the prince loses his eye sight.

I bet you're thinking now, "WHAT HOW COULD SHE!"

Well keep reading.

"Aha!" cried [the witch], mocking him, "you came for your darling, but the sweet bird sits no longer in the nest, and sings no more; the cat has got her and will scratch our your eyes as well!"

~Rapunzel

Mir wasn't sure what had really happened. Or her mind over expatiating things. But the way she remembered it, she and Gwyn had found a way out of their maze of vents. When they had come to an opening they saw Seto saving Emi from falling. Than Ryou yelling at the large screen.

Then the gun going off.

After that it was like her instincts just took over. Ryou, the one person who had always been there for her, was in trouble. Everything around her seemed to fade out and all she saw was him standing in shock.

"Ryou, MOVE!"

It was coming too fast, but she had to stop it, she had to. Grabbing Ryou, she pushed him out of the way, causing the laser to hit her instead.

For Emi it was like time stood still. Her feet were planted on the floor as if they were cemented there. It was like a bad dream. She saw everything unfolding around her but she couldn't make her body move. Suddenly her sister was laying on the floor, her hands over her bleeding face. Bakura lay a few feet away, shocked.

Then something inside her snapped. Grabbing one of the destroyed guns, Emi started swinging it madly around her, destroying everything.

Mir was in pain, it hurt, her face hurt. All the pain before suddenly seemed like nothing compared to her face. Yet she couldn't seem to get her body to move. All she could do was lay there, Emi's screaming ringing in her ears.

"GET AWAY FROM HERRR!"

All the commotion around her seemed so far away; it was as if she was in a fog. It wasn't until the gentle voice of her younger sister touched her ears did Mir suddenly wake up from her shock.

"Sister? Mir? Are you ok?"

"It hurts, Gwyn… IT HURTS! OH MY GOD, it hurts! My face! My eyes!"

There were sounds of new voices and footsteps all around her as Roland and several of the Kaiba Corp security crew rushed in. Seto had pried the gun out of Emi's hands and was trying to hold her back as she crumpled to the floor sobbing hysterically.

Mir felt a strong arm on her as the voice of a man asked her if she was ok. Mir could hardly speak but she was able to force out a "no." The paramedic –or that was what Mir guessed he was— said some other things that she could hardly make out, then she felt a small prick and her body slowly started to relax.

The last thing Mir remembered hearing was Ryou's voice breaking through the chaos. "You're going to be ok, Mir, I know it, you're going to be ok." Then her world went black.

I have always hated the dark. I'm not really sure why, but I think it's not really the darkness it's the fact that I can't see. I can't see the world around me. I don't know where I am and what's near me. I'm just surrounded by utter darkness. Anything can happen in the dark and you would never know it was happening. I'm just trapped in a dark void of nothingness.

The thought of being in total darkness, not knowing where I am or what's out there, that's what scares me the most. I'm scared to move but scared to stay where I am. Not knowing what's beyond that first step. Is there even a first step? It's the one thing that I am truly scared of, the one nightmare that keeps me up at night. The reason I sleep with a light on.

Emi sat outside in the waiting room of the Domino hospital. Mir had just gone through extensive surgery and was now sleeping off the drugs. A nurse said that she would tell the blonde when her sister woke up. So far they weren't sure if the damage to her eyes was going to be permanent or not. Emi sighed, rubbing her fourth cup of coffee. It had been a long night. Gwyn had been sent to the Kaiba mansion at around 11:30. The youngest sister had tried to talk Emi into letting her stay and sit with the eldest but Emi had sternly told Gwyn that she would be fine. And besides, the young blonde had play practice the next day. Of course it was partly a lie; Emi really wanted the small blonde by her side right now. The eldest was a wreck; everything seemed to be falling down around her and she didn't know how to fix it anymore. She felt so completely alone and unsure of herself.

"I just don't want to be alone anymore…." she whispered to herself as she played with her lukewarm cup of coffee.

"You don't have to be. I thought I told you I would never leave you, you'll never have to be alone," Seto's voice said from behind her. Emi turned, spilling the remains of her coffee on herself. This made her yelp, jumping up, her face flushed from embarrassment.

"I'm not alone I have my… my…" She couldn't even finish her sentence. Mir, one of the most important people in her life, might be blind for the rest of her life. That one person had needed her and she had failed. One of the two people she lived her whole live for was in pain.

She didn't even realize she was on the floor sobbing until Seto had awkwardly put his arms around her. She didn't care how stiff and hesitant his grip was, she didn't care it was the great Seto Kaiba that was uncertainly trying to comfort her. She just let him hold her while she cried out all of her frustrations and fears.

Once she had slowed down, Seto sighed, pushing away so he could look into her crystal eyes. "You're such a stupid woman, I already told you I would take care of you. Now stop crying, you're making a scene. Not to mention getting me wet."

Emi blinked in surprise at his words, slightly unsure of what to make of them Then agai,n when was she EVER sure of what he meant? "S…Seto?"

"What?"

"Thank you."

The brunet turned away, slightly embarrassed. "Whatever."

Emi smiled, about to speak when a nurse came in. "Emiko Hidenka?" Both Seto and Emi stood quickly. Emi felt her stomach knot up.

"Yes?"

"You can see your sister now."

Emi nodded mutely, unsure of what to say. She turned to Seto her eyes wide and helpless. The CEO just looked at her blankly, not knowing what she wanted.

"I'll go get Gwyn," he said. Emi nodded, then started to walk toward her sister's room. Emi had almost left the waiting room when Seto's words stopped her. "And I paid the bill, so don't even think about trying to undermine me and pay because it's too late."

Emi couldn't help herself. Turning, she smiled, her eyes twinkling with some stray tears. "Thanks, Seto."

-Hours earlier-

"Gwyn?"

The young blonde turned to see the silhouette of Mokuba in the doorway. Gwyn was sitting curled up at the head of the large queen-sized bed in one of the many guest rooms. The blonde was hugging a large fluffy pillow to her chest, her purple eyes filled with tears. The young teenage boy walked over to her, sitting on the edge of her bed. "Are you ok?" Gwyn was about to tell him she was ok. That he should go back to bed. But it didn't come out; in fact she couldn't even talk. She just started to cry, burying her face in her pillow as she tried to hide her tears.

Mokuba wasn't sure what to do. His brother had done the best he could to raise Mokuba to be a smart independent young man. However, the elder Kaiba had definitely been lacking in the social department, and even though Mokuba was much better with people than his brother, he had never really had to deal with a crying girl before. Slowly, the younger Kaiba boy scooted over to Gwyn and put an arm around her.

"It's going to be ok, don't worry."

"No it's not!"

"Yeah it is! Brother is going to get the best doctors to help Mir. I promise it's going to be fine."

Gwyn leaned on the shoulder that Mokuba gave her, tears still spilling down her face. "I'm so scared," she whispered. Gwyn cried for a while until she was so exhausted she could hardly keep her eyes open. Mokuba sat with her the whole time, trying his best to make her feel better.

Seto found them both a few hours later both asleep on the bed, Mokuba's arm around Gwyn and her curled up in a small ball next to him, the pillow still clutched tightly in her arms.

"Hey you, how do you feel?"

Mir chuckled lightly at the sound of her sister. "A little drugged up, but other than I feel ok."

"Good," Emi whispered, sitting down next to her younger sister and taking the brunette's hand. Mir turned, slightly unsure where to look because of the huge bandages around her eyes. "I should hit you."

"WHY!"

"Because you ditched school, didn't tell anyone where you went, got trapped in some creepy abandoned building and caused me to almost have a heart attack."

"I'm sure your heart can take it, it's been through a lot worst."

"… What does that mean?"

"Tito..."

Emi fell silent for a moment. Mir could almost see that face she made when she was unsure of what to say. "He has nothing to do with you running away. What happened?"

"I have been stalking Manon for weeks now…"

"And why pray tell were you doing that?"

"Because she was up to something."

"She's always up to… wait, Manon was at that place with those computer guys?"

"Yeah."

"…."

Emi's silence worried Mir. "What?"

"Apparently Manon has been out of town since that morning. She only just got back after hearing her beloved step-daughter was hurt. Or so the papers say." Mir frowned. Her whole body hurt because of that woman, how was it possible that she couldn't be there. Unlike those five guys she was REALLY bodily there.

"Mir?"

Mir shook her head, "I don't know what to tell you…."

Emi sighed; it was that frustrated sigh she made when she didn't know what to do with Mir. "Well, if Manon was there like you say, why did you go?"

"Why not? I need to talk care of my family!"

"But why didn't you tell any of us? Why do you do things like this?" Emi asked.

"I don't just want to be the sister who is standing by while you are bleeding on the floor! I want to protect you and Gwyn!"

"Taking care of a family doesn't mean you hurt yourself , Mir! You need to tell us what's going on! We're a family, we don't hid things from each other."

"You do."

"I do what?"

"Hurt yourself! Hide things from us!"

"What are you talking about?"

"With Tito, Emi. We're not stupid! Gwyn and I know you dumped him because of us! Why did you do it! You could have been happy, Emi! You could have had what you always wanted!" Mir was pounding the hospital bed now, all those frustrations spilling out. "Why do you always have to be a freaking martyr! You make the rest of us feel so bad the way you just push all your happiness away! Why can't you just open up like you use to! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! WHY DID YOU PUSH HIM AWAY!"

"Mir…"

"NO, EMI! Don't give me stupid excuses! You can't lie to me! WHY did you do it? WHY!"

"BECAUSE, MIR! I LOVE YOU AND GWYN MORE THAN SOME SILLY DREAM AND A PASSING FANTASY!"

The brunette sat, slightly stunned. Emi hadn't yelled at her in… in forever. "Was that all Tito was? A passing fantasy?"

Emi sighed. "I don't know, but I do know that when it comes down to it I couldn't do it. It wasn't because I felt an obligation or anything like that. It was because the thought of leaving you and Gwyn—even if you were both taken care of— made me sick to my stomach. I'm sorry I haven't opened up to you in a while, Mir, but I'm telling you now. When Tito first told me he loved me, I was excited. I wanted to go run away with him, but then I remembered you and Gwyn. All those fun times we had together. Like when we snuck into that piano room at Uncle's and played music until dawn." Mir laughed at the memory; it had been fun until their uncle's stupid girlfriend had found them and sold the piano. "All those nights of tears and all those good laughs we had. And I just couldn't." Mir could feel the tears welling up behind her bandages.

"I, I loved those times, too…. I…"

"Mir?"

"Gwyn!"

"Are you ok…" Her voice sounded strained and cracked from crying.

"Yeah, these bandages are worse than they look." Mir could hear Gwyn walking slowly toward the bed.

"But you might not be able to see, Seto told me."

"Curse that man," Emi muttered under her breath. Mir smiled at the thought of Seto telling Gwyn the news as if the small blonde was one of his business partners. Gosh, she loved her sisters so much.

"Satra?" The strawberry blonde looked up to see Ryou walking slowly down the hospital hall. Flashing him a wide smile, the teen waved as if she was at a carnival and not a hospital.

"You here to see Mir, too?"

"Yeah."

"They are doing a check up right now, but when they are done you can go in."

"Oh, ok."

Both teens sat in silence for a moment, then Satra spoke again. "I'm worried about her."

"Me, too."

"It's just that, she's scared of the dark, I can just imagine how she must feel right now."

Ryou turned to Satra, confused. "What?"

"You mean you never picked up on that?"

"No, I did, but… I didn't know you knew that."

Satra shrugged. "I just guessed." She sighed, looking down at her feet. "Poor Mir."

"She's going to be ok," Ryou told her, trying to reassure her.

Satra looked up at him, smiling. "Yeah… but with you by her side she'll be fine!" Ryou was slightly startled by her comment and was about to reply when the doctor and nurse left Mir's room. The nurse told them they could go in and visit. Ryo, eager to see Mir, got up almost before the nurse had left; however, he paused when Satra didn't follow him.

"Are you coming?"

Satra smiled weakly as if she was battling some inner struggle. "I'll let you go first; she probably needs to talk to you alone."

"Oh, ok," the white-haired boy replied, unsure if he should press her to come. Ryou had never been a very forceful human. So he left the strawberry blonde in the hallway.

The first thing Ryou noticed was that Mir's room was white, like every other room in the hospital. It was also very large and could have probably have held another patient—or two— but only one bed sat in the room. Mir's brown hair looked very funny in contrast to the bleached room. As Ryou walked in, Mir's head jerked up. Her bandaged faced moved around slightly as if she was trying to guess who was in her room.

"Hello, Mir."

"Ryou?"

"Yeah, how are you feeling?"

Mir chuckled, pointing to her bandages. "Well, besides these, I'd say I'm doing pretty well. How about you?"

Ryou laughed, sitting down in the chair next to her bed. "I'm worried about you."

"Oh I'm fine; I mean there's a chance I'll be able to see."

"But what if you can't."

Mir mouth formed a thin line. "I'll be fine." Ryou sighed, unsure of what to say.

"We're worried about you."

"We're?"

"Satra and I."

"Satra? Is she here?"

"She's outside."

"WHY! How long has she been out there!"

"I don't know, she told me I should be in here with you."

"But that doesn't mean she can't be here! Damn that girl! SATRA, GET IN HERE!"

The sound of the door opened. "Y…you called?" The strawberry blonde's voice sounded strained as if she had been crying for a long time and was not quite done.

"Why didn't you come in?"

"I… I thought…"

"Satra, you're my best friend and I want to be with you as much as anyone else."

Sara broke down crying.

Soooooo what do you guys think? And I really mean that, like should Mir's blindness be permanent or not?

HERE IT IS! And Ryou is fine… besides a few scratches and stuff. I think you were the only one who was worried about Ryou! GO YOU! Hahah Seto is just so epic that he can save two people at once. Have you ever seen the part when they battle the Five in the virtual world with Noah? When Seto Throws Mokuba onto the helicopter I pretty much died from lack of oxygen because I was fangirling so hard XD EESH! Good luck with your band stuff. Reminds me of drama, when we're getting for the play it's like a MAD house. Funimation did make Fruits Basket and Ouran Highschool host club… and remember there is ONE more story coming!
