I dislike unpleasant surprises..

[MuGen]

Your lives were written in a pair, sharing a life's high and low.
You are the mirror reflecting him, a cat named Shadow.
The life you breathe in each day, is the life he exhales.
But the ending of a story you never want to come...Efforts to no avail.
His spirit now forever lies in the sky.
Do not be afraid to shed a tear, and cry.
~ a poem for Shadow and Bluefire from Kyuzo

Rest in peace, and condolences Bluefire. I had an Iguana named Flash (he was really fast) for 5 years, and never could tell if he was sick. But eventually he bit the dust, and I forever remember that day, considering I didn't expect it.

Sorry again for your loss.
