Prologue

Silence is something everyone experiences at least once. Well, what if someone experienced it everyday? Would you scorn them? Laugh at them for not being able to say something?

Well what if they had a reason. They were born without a voice, or it was damaged when they were a child? Would you mock them then?

You know there is always that one person that everyone despises, simply because they can't talk. What if they just didn't want to? What if they never had anything to say? What if their voices had gotten them hurt once before, and they were frightened it would happen again?

Kagome Higurashi was a child of silence. She talked to no one. She allowed others to abuse her at school with words, simply because she blocked them out. She didn't care. She never wanted to use her voice. That same voice had gotten her family killed. She wouldn't—couldn't—do that to anyone ever again—but what she didn't know was that she would, at a new school, a school called Shikon no Tama.
