I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN… yet. :) just kidding!

Two ghostly figures stood on the side of the road, holding hands. They looked down at three wooden crosses in the ground. The figures were looking at the site of their own death. The shorter ghostly figure was a pale-skinned, red haired female. Tears poured from her brown eyes at seeing the cross that read "Alice Kazami- kind friend, wife, and almost mother." the date of her death was below it. April 27th, 2010. The small smaller cross was the 'almost mother' part. Alice was six months pregnant. And all people that crossed her path could tell you that she seemed to glow with happiness, and the pregnancy suited her well. She was going to have a girl, and she had picked out the name Alena for her unborn child. The small cross read "Alena Kazami-unborn daughter of Alice and Shun Kazami." the same date was printed below.

The other figure put his arm around his wife, letting her cry into his chest. He looked at the death markers of his wife, his unborn daughter, and then his own. His said "Shun Kazami- great friend, husband, and almost father." He hugged his wife tighter and then let go, holding her hand as they stepped together to stand behind their markers, then fade away.

A car's headlights shone brightly on the empty road and the vehicle slowed to a stop on the side of the room. A brown-haired male stepped out and walked to the other side to help his wife out. She was a beautiful woman with waist-length blue hair. Both were dressed in formal clothes. The woman had on a white dress, her belly quite large from being nine months pregnant and the man wore a tuxedo.

"Here are the roses, Runo." The man stated, holding out a large bunch of the white flowers, freshly retrieved from the trunk of their car. Runo took them and they walked together to the markers.

"Dan, you do the honors." She handed the brunette man the bouquet, knowing she couldn't put them down because of her large belly being in the way. Dan kneeled and put down the flawless white roses.

Runo turned and began crying into Dan's chest. "Oh Runo, they're in a better place. All three of them." He whispered calming words in her ears and rubbed her back. Soon, another car pulled up behind Dan and Runo's and a woman stepped out, crying loudly. Her boyfriend followed behind, a rare frown on his usually smiling face.

"Hey Julie, Billy." Dan said, holding his wife loosely in his arms.

Julie mumbled a hello through her tears and Billy raised a hand and gave a small wave. The four friends stood in a semicircle around the markers, sniffling slightly or remembering the good moments they had with their friends. Alice, a friendly girl who enchanted all she met with her brains and beauty and Shun, who was training to be a ninja thanks to his wacky grandfather. As soon as the two became a couple, Shun was happier more often and a small smile always graced his handsome features.

Runo wrapped her arms around herself when a chilling wind blew, and Dan removed his jacket and placed it on her shoulders. She gave a weak smile and turned back to the three white road markers. When it started to rain, the three pulled themselves away and into their vehicles, driving away into the night.

If you don't have anything nice to say about the story… please don't say anything at all.

Let us never forget April 27, 2010. The day that changed many Alabamian's lives forever. Tornadoes ripped through Tuscaloosa and many other parts of the state, causing damage everywhere. Thank you to everyone who has helped us through these hard times. :')
