RYŌKI KUROKAZE
This was one of his favorite places in the territory. Though the water was cold and let off no steam, its shallow depths and the soothing sound of the rushing water reminded him of home. He hopped across some of the smooth stones that emerged above the surface, feeling a little childish and silly doing it, remembering the way he often did this with his brother when they were young.
If you fall in, you'll die, was their one rule. He remembered how he had 'killed' his brother many times, pushing him into the water, then cringed, mostly with how twisted such phrasing seemed now. He stood still on a larger flat stone, paws leaving prints in the thin sheet of snow lying on top of it, gaze turning towards the small waterfall. He was still for a few moments, before stepping forward, dipping his paws into the water, icy cold against his pads. Soon all four were submerged into the frigid water. It was only deep enough to come above his ankles but below the midpoint of his legs. He walked through the water, wading towards the waterfall and admiring it closer.
The noise grew louder as he approached, then he stopped, the water coming up higher right in front of the falls. The river in the mountains had falls like these. He could almost see his brother standing on the rocks on top and daring him to climb up.『ねえ, 兄貴! 行こう, 兄貴は怖がっていないよね?』 He could almost hear Jun's voice above the sound of the rushing water and looked upward. The bright golden light from the setting sun nearly blinded him and he turned his gaze back downwards, before dipping his head under the waterfall, letting it cascade down his neck and shoulders.
The frigid water shocked his senses until it began to soothe him.
