"Doctor," Tohru asked with concern. "How is he?"

"Well," The doctor sighed, taking off his glasses and cleaning them. "To be truthful with you, not good. He seems as though he just doesn't want to heal, like he wants to die." The doctor said bluntly and to the point.

Tears filled her eyes. 'This is all my fault...' Her mind berated her harshly.

"Give him these, they are anti-depressant pills, they should help, but I suggest you find the cause for this. Depressions like these are usually caused by something more than usual depressed people." The doctor instructed.

"Give him one every morning and night. When you run out, call me." He gave her his card with his phone number and address.

"Yes doctor, thank you again." Tohru bowed slightly, showing the doctor to the door.

She turned to look at the stairs. 'Kyou, I'm sorry, but I will never let something like this happen again,' She declared inwardly. 'I'm sorry for what I did, and I regret it. I-I—'

Shigure walked into the room where Tohru was lost in thought. "Hello? Tohru? How's Kyou? What did the doctor say?" He questioned in his normal happy self though his mask hid anything he was feeling right now.

"Oh..." Tohru turned to look at him, a glazed look in her eye that showed she would have cried any time this moment.

'No.' Her mind willed itself. 'I will not cry/ I must be strong, for Kyou...' The name seemed to send a flutter through her body, though she knew naught why as to it.

"Well?"

"Kyou is depressed." She told him.

'And I though doctor's now-a-days were smart, gee, anyone could have told that by lone look from his old self to his new self.' Shigure shrugged inwardly.

"We are suppose to figure out what's wrong with him," 'I'll take a wild guess as to what it is.' "And give him these pills, once a day."

"I see," Shigure understood, looking at the black colored bottle with white colored anti-depressants in them.

"It won't help a lot if we can't help him get over this, Tohru." Shigure told her cautiously.

Tohru turned away and took a deep breath, catching herself from making or doing something wrong. She turned back with a defiant look in her eyes, a fire that wouldn't be put out with water. "I know, and to tell you the truth, I won't give up. Not on Kyou, I will make sure that something like this never happens. I won't let him fall into himself. He'll be just like he always was!" She told him fiercely.

"I was hoping that you wouldn't give up," Shigure said with a faint smile tracing his lips, which were drawn into a tight line. This was a very serious situation.

"You realize that if this fails, he may never smile again..." Words came back to haunt them. They were now urged with this new fuel to save Kyou and make him realize this was all a misunderstanding. All a misunderstand...

"Well?" Kagura said with undying impatience. "What did the doctor say?!" She hissed, waiting for a response.

"We are to give Kyou these pills every day." Tohru told her simply, hiding the unknown facts from the cheery teenager.

'Was I cheery like that one time?' Tohru thought weakly, remembering all the times she smiled, even after both her parents died. 'How was I able to smile?'

"What are they for?" She said precociously.

"They are anti-depressant pills. Kyou is depressed and we need to help him through this." Shigure told her, tired of the teenager sometimes.

Kagura was quiet and solemn. She eyed the pills, then left to go and get some fresh air, the doctor's diagnosis still on her mind, never leaving her conscious waking.

"Tohru? I suggest that, though you may hate him..." Shigure wandered off. How could he bring back that day when Tohru ran off from Kyou? How could he when it hurt even himself to remember such a memory?

"I don't hate him." She told him. "I never have." She was turned away from him, head bowed to look at the wood floor.

Shiugure remained quiet. "What are we going to do?" He questioned after a long pause of silence.

"My motto." She told him, remembering days that seemed long forgotten.

"Huh?" A quizzical look overcame Shigure's features, leaving a priceless moment to remember.

"Like my motto says," She told him silently with burning determination. "Never give up." Her hand clenched the bottle and she looked at the stairs.

Her foot touched the first step, and then the next one and the next after that. She slowly made her way up the stairs, quietly as a mouse not on purpose though.

'Don't worry, Kyou,' Her mind cooed to him though he wasn't near her yet. 'Don't worry, I'll make sure that you won't get hurt again even if I hurt you. Something like this should never have happened.'

Author's Note: Sorry that it is so short! . I kinda couldn't know what to do, so I think I just let Tohru heal him like my reviewer suggested, but if you think otherwise, tell me and I might do it (yes, that means you can suggest Yuki too, no one is rejected here .) . um...I think that's it!
