Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters…but I wish I did..

A/N: Yeah…I'm back. This would be my second fanfic. I know I should be writing/finishing/ fixing my first fanfic but just don't feel like it. I guess I just don't know what I want to do. Well, I think that I'm gonna start writing for 'Getting Her Back' like the next week or something. Maybe…depends if I feel up to it.

Well anyways….here it is…. Motivate the Mute

Prologue: Bad News

"Well, Mrs.Higurashi, I'm sorry to say that your daughter can't speak anymore. It seems that she drank something that caused her to be unable to talk," stated the doctor. Mrs. Higurashi covered her mouth with her hands, she was in shock. She slid down the chair she was sitting in a little and started crying.

"Will...s-she ever be able to sp-speak? Ever?" she questioned, trying to regain her composure.

"Hm…it's hard to say. It could take months or maybe years before her voice comes back. I think that if she really wanted to speak again, she can. But the concoction that she drank… well, let's just say that it could prevent her from actually doing it. I guess that somebody must really motivate her to," answered the doctor.

Mrs. Higurashi didn't respond. She just shook her head up and down. Then came a knock at the door.

"Come in"

The door slowly opened. It was a 5 year old girl with pigtails on the sides of her head and a pretty pink dress. Her raven hair came down to her shoulders, while up in pigtails, her skin was tan-ish and her chocolate, brown eyes twinkled as the light caught her eyes. And though her appearance seemed cheery and bright, her morose face changed everybody's perspective on her. She looked to the women and then to the doctor, and slowly came in.

"Hey Kagome honey, come here" said Mrs. Higurashi sweetly as her daughter. Her daughter only nodded and walked over.

"Do you want a lollipop?" asked the doctor.

Kagome looked up and stared. She looked back at her mother and saw that she was nudging her to take the doctor on the sweet offer. She opened her mouth and tried to say 'yes please', but only ended up mouthing the words. Kagome's eyes began to tear a bit, but she didn't want to cry. She blinked them away, and nodded. The doctor saw her nod, turned around, picked a cherry flavored lollipop and handed the girl the candy.

"Thank you" replied Mrs. Higurashi for her daughter. "Kagome dear, can you step outside for one minute?" Kagome nodded and walked out the door. The doctor watched as the door shut.

"Mrs. Higurashi, I don't know what exactly happened. But if you like, you and your daughter can go to a special place where I worked at once. It is a place where Kagome and you can go learn sign language and communicate to one another. Would you like the address?" inquired the doctor.

"Oh that would be wonderful"

"Okay then, I'll make the appointment for you. I hope that one day your daughter can speak again. No worries okay, she still has the ability to talk, its just being suppressed. I'm sure that one day somebody can motivate her to speak again. I'm sure," said the doctor, trying to make the worried mother feel better.

"Yes, maybe one day."

A/N: First off, I do not know anything about sign language, except for the fact that I can spell my name in it. So yea…
