Sometimes it's all he can do just to take another breath. Sometimes it's all he can do just to live. Sometimes he just wants to let his legs give out underneath him and relish in the feel of soft grass on his skin until the Wind Tunnel decides it's time. Sometimes he wonders why he bothers with jewel shards and wishes when it takes all he has in him just to wake up in the morning. Sometimes he wonders how someone like Sango can expect love from him.

Sometimes.

But sometimes Kagome smiles and everything's right again, and he feels like he can take another step. And sometimes she asks him if he's all right and he says yes and means it because he couldn't lie to her. Sometimes there's a soft touch on his arm and he breathes easier. Sometimes he falls asleep, looking forward to seeing her when he wakes up. Sometimes he doesn't understand why. Sometimes he doesn't want to.

She makes him want to live again.

Always.
