Luckier Than They Think

Too many times had he skirted past death, his right hand trying to drag him down as the chill licked at his fingertips. But he was still alive.

Too many times had he been slapped by pretty women, and he worried that the echoes from the past would eventually drive Sango away. But she continued to stay by his side.

Too many times had he gotten himself into trouble, a mere moment of weakness or miscalculation that led to a foe bigger than he thought he could handle alone. And his friends always came to his aide.

"Unfortunate" some had called him, with whispered words and pitying glances. He merely looked away and smiled to himself.

He was a cursed man. But he still considered himself lucky.
