Most of us doesn't/ don't see it. Which one is right?

Hi,

This is subject-verb agreement question. I am confused.

If those are right.
One of us IS right. (Singular verb because of the "ONE")

Each of the kids CRIES. (Singular verb because of the "EACH")

Then, which verb is right for the sentence below? and WHY?

Most of us DON'T see it.
Most of us DOESN'T see it.

Thank you.
