Welcome on and all to the second chapter of 'What You Can't See'. Nothing really to say so enjoy the chapter.

-------------

Kagome shot up from the bed she was in, startling Kaine who had been sitting beside her.

"Relax child." He announced, placing a hand on the freaked out Kagome.

"Where am I?" She asked him.

"You're in Lord Sesshomaru's castle." Kaine told her.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, her voice cracking.

"Now then, I was unable to get the information out of Sesshomaru so may I ask what your name is and how exactly Sesshomaru came upon you." Kaine asked.

"My name is Kagome." Kagome sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I…I don't remember seeing Sesshomaru." Kagome confessed.

"Interesting." Kaine replied.

Kagome remembered what the voice inside her head had said and sighed again.

"Where is Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked Kaine.

"He is in his study. It's on the main floor." Kaine told her as she got up and practically raced out of his room.

Kagome was panicking. What was she going to do now?

She raced up the steps, darted into the hallway and leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath. She started running again, intending to find Sesshomaru as quickly as possible.

She reached his study and knocked, while trying to get her breathing back down to normal.

She heard a growl from inside. She opened the study door and stepped in closing the door behind her.

Sesshomaru looked up from the paperwork he had been working on and was slightly concerned at the obviously frustrated Kagome.

"Did you see it?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru frantically.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, not following where she was going.

"The thing…the thing that attacked me?" Kagome asked him in desperation.

"I…did not." Sesshomaru replied.

"Damn it!" Kagome cursed out loud, very badly wanting to hit something.

She instead opted for sitting down on the chair across from Sesshomaru's position behind the desk.

"Can you tell me anything?" Kagome asked him, her head in her hands.

"I can not miko." Sesshomaru told her, almost hating to bring the girl more pain.

He heard a slew of cuss words come out of Kagome's mouth but wasn't offended.

"Why was that…thing…attacking you in the first place?" Sesshomaru asked her, causing Kagome to look up in surprise.

"Why do you care?" Kagome asked him.

"I 'care' because it was on my lands and I will not have murderous demons running on my lands." Sesshomaru replied.

Kagome nodded her understanding.

The room was quiet for a few minutes.

"If you are feeling well enough I will take you back to my brother now." Sesshomaru offered.

"No!" Kagome replied as Sesshomaru was about to stand up.

"I...uhh...uhh…" Kagome stuttered trying to find a good excuse.

Something inside her told her to just tell Sesshomaru the truth and tell him about the voice in her head but he would probably just think she was crazy.

Before she said anything she was cut off.

"You can not lie to me miko…I can smell you and your scent changes when you lie." Sesshomaru told Kagome.

Kagome sighed and ran her hands through her hair.

"I…I just can't go back." Kagome told him in a small voice, ready for him to go into a speech about how humans are pathetic and worthless.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome in fascination. Something was defiantly wrong with the miko but he couldn't figure it out.

"Very well." Sesshomaru announced.

Kagome looked up with questioning eyes.

"You will stay here until you can find somewhere else to go." Sesshomaru told her, looking back down at his paperwork, not wanting to look at Kagome's face in fear his alter motives would be discovered.

Kagome got up and walked to the door in a shock. She opened the door and turned back to Sesshomaru.

"Thank you." She told him as she left.

-------------

Sesshomaru heard the door close and put the piece of paper he was holding down.

He was confused. He, lord of the west, was confused. He didn't know why but the thought of Kagome leaving un-nerved him and made him un-easy. He also had to admit that having her close, her scent available for him to smell, made his beast calm. His beast was so calm he could sleep and actually wake up feeling rested.

Sesshomaru looked around his study in confusion and sighed, standing up and heading to talk to Kaine. Perhaps he had some answers for him.

-------------

Kagome walked away from Sesshomaru's study and ended up in a garden.

She walked to the edge of a small stream and sat beside it, looking at her reflection.

'What did her muse mean when she said going back to InuYasha would only lead me to my grave? InuYasha would never hurt me…would he? And where else do I have to go anyways? I can't go home now that I've sealed the well and Sesshomaru won't let me stay here long. Why is he letting me stay here at all? More importantly why did he save me, he hates humans…right?'

Kagome sighed as a lot of questions came to her mind but she only had very few precious answers.

She looked up at the sky and sighed.

What was she supposed to do now?

-------------

Sesshomaru sat in the chair he had previously occupied as Kaine thought.

"So, what you are saying is that you haven't been able to sleep and now Kagome's presence is calming your restless beast?" Kaine asked Sesshomaru.

"It seems so." Sesshomaru told his old friend Kaine.

"Have you ever though that maybe your beast…" Kaine started.

"I would not fall in love with a human." Sesshomaru announced.

"Ah but she's not a human Sesshomaru…she is a miko." Kaine corrected.

Sesshomaru grumbled.

'Could it be that I, Sesshomaru, have become infatuated with my brothers wench?' Sesshomaru asked himself.

Deep down Sesshomaru had a feeling that he had but what was he going to do about it?
