Niagara Falls

- - -

Night was upon the city, but it was never really dark in the heart of Tokyo. The streetlights were lined up on each side of the neighborhood’s street, throwing wide cones of light onto the sidewalk as people and people on bicycles passed by with the occasional car zooming down the road, its headlights blazing. Raichi and Shunpei were walking side by side up the sidewalk, both clad in fairly large sweaters and jackets. The younger felt a shiver travel up his spine, causing him to hunch his shoulders and shut his eyes. “Ah…! So cold!!” He complained loudly. “It’s freezing!” His chocolate-brown eyes glinted under the dim light bulbs before he stomped both his feet, as he thought that movement would warm him up. As he breathed, he watched the white puffs float into the air and then vanish quickly. He huffed, bringing his black hood over his head to cover up the mop of messy brown hair on top. His mouth mask - which wasn’t covering his mouth - hung under his chin. Raichi craned his neck over towards his companion beside him, scrunching his nose in distaste because it was just too cold. The sides of his lips tugged up into a short and brief grin before he finally decided to bring up his mouth mask to cover up his pale lips. “So cold,” he whispered breathlessly, the tone of his voice sounding muffled behind the mask.

Shunpei agreed silently, only using a curt nod of his head as his reply to Raichi’s never-ending complaints about the unchangeable weather. Ducking his head down a little, he fastened his own mouth mask so that the bottom half of his face was protected from the chill. He eyed the concrete of the sidewalk and watched as his shadow disappeared and reappeared when he walked out of the streetlight’s little circle and into a new one. His hand fell back to his side after he adjusted his mask before he gave a sideway glance over to Raichi. “It really is cold… I knew we should have brought more layers…” The pitcher griped lowly. He tore his gaze away his underlcassman with a sour expression splayed on his face to emphasize his displeasure. Raichi opened his mouth, ready to retort with something foolish, but he decided against it and stayed silent because he knew the statement his senior uttered was true. Noticing this action, Shunpei peered over at him curiously. With a brow raised, Shunpei shook his head lightly and didn’t bother to dig in deeper. He wasn’t keen on dealing with Raichi’s hyperactive self, especially at this time of day.

They walked in complete silence afterwards. It was like the path back to their apartment was going to wind on and on - forever - until something interesting happened, and nothing quite note-worthy was probably going to occur anytime soon so they better get comfortable on the spot or else it’d be a long ride. Raichi graoned while shoving his hands into his pockets - although that didn’t help the fact that his fingertips were going numb - and threw his head back to stare at the sky that was dotted with bright flashes of light. “Argh, it’s so cold!” He screamed to the sky, which resulted in him obtaining a smack to the shoulder from Shunpei. His steps fell a bit slower as another a groan erupted from him. “I bet one of the rivers in Japan is frozen right now.” He stated mockingly, more or less using it as a joke. Since it was supposed to be a joke and all, he wasn’t really prepared for when Shunpei sputtered out unnecessary information he should have learned in school or something.

"I heard that the Niagara Falls was frozen around this time,"

Raichi blinked, snapping his head over towards Shunpei so fast that he thought he might have broke his neck. He really wasn’t prepared for any of this. “Wait—what? Where? Which river?” He panicked, ears and brain not quick enough to catch what Shunpei was talking about. The elder chuckled at his underclassman’s panicking state - his shoulders tensed up, eyes resembling that of a deer’s staring at headlights. He could even tell that the other’s mouth was opened a little, even if it was hidden behind his mouth mask. He was such an adorable idiot. (He even asked, ‘which river’, Christ, that unbearably adorable idiot.)

"I said that the Niagara Falls is frozen around now." Shunpei repeated quickly. His smile became irrepressible as he watched Raichi struggle with his Japanese. This was actually really amusing, if he had to be truthful. Raichi was spitting out nonsense and gibberish, the words he used probably not in any dictionary that there was.

"N-Nigeria River?" He finally stammered, eyebrows furrowing in slight frustration. At that, Shunpei burst out laughing, falling forward a bit.

"No, it’s Niagara Falls.” The elder attempted, his chuckles escaping frequently. Seeing that Raichi fell silent afterwards, he guessed that the younger still didn’t catch what he said. That forced out yet another laughing fit from him. Raichi glowered and pouted angrily at the laughter, growing irritable at his really unhelpful senior.

"Sanada-senpai, please say it slowly…" He mumbled, eyes reflecting the annoyance and embarrassment he felt inside him.

Shunpei tried reducing his laughing by bowing his head and covering his mouth, where he was only barely able to muster out, “Haha, the Ni-a-ga-ra Falls.” before turning away to laugh quietly (you know, just to be polite). But then he caught the sound of Raichi letting out a huff and stomping his feet, which made him kneel down and start snickering, shoulders trembling as he hid his mouth behind his hand and mask. Why was his underclassman so stupid? It was almost comical. Actually, it was comical. “Nai-ah-ga-ra Fo-ru-zu,” He stated slowly, laughter still apparent in some parts of his speech. Since he was knelt down and his mouth was covered - along with the fact that he was chuckling - Raichi was forced to kneel down and strain his ears just to catch even a part of the sentence.

"Nagara?" Raichi asked innocently, cocking his head to the side. "Niagara?"

"Yes!" Shunpei shouted abruptly, standing up with his fist clenched as if it was an accomplishment to get the kid to say Niagara correctly in Japanese. After another look-over at Raichi’s mildly baffled expression, that’s when the explanation began. “In the United States, it’s frozen for the first time after 103 years.” He exclaimed, a teasing smirk gracing his features. Raichi didn’t seem to notice the teasing in it as he stood up, though. He only started to absentmindedly follow after Shunpei, who was walking forward and to their designated destination yet again.

"Wai—wha…103 years? Huh?" Raichi panicked, causing Shunpei to laugh breathlessly (from the cold and his hurting stomach) as he gave it all he had at the moment to not halt his footing.

The older smiled, beginning to explain everything in an even slower manner just so Raichi could understand it. “Yeah, the waterfalls - the water that flows - is frozen now, it’s really cold.” He said, using a voice that he would originally use on a child. Expecting Raichi to start grumbling about how he was being treated like a child, he was somewhat of taken aback at his childlike answer. Almost immediately, Raichi’s face had lit up from what Shunpei liked to call pointless excitement.

"Really!?" He beamed happily. His brown eyes were practically sparkling with stars.

The stars were immediately wiped out, however, when Shunpei has responded with a “Holy crap, you’re so gullible.” and a lop-sided smile that never even once faltered. The younger’s face fell just as fast as it had lit up. Then a cry of, "I hate you!" escaped Raichi’s mouth. Shunpei’s smile never lessened to something smaller for he was quite aware that the negative sentence Raichi used wasn’t true. Shunpei knew that he was his Sanada-senpai, after all. Staring at Raichi’s red face (possibly from embarrassment or the cold, who knows?) Shunpei felt a sense of relief wash over him. He grinned. His underclassman was beyond interesting and with that, Raichi will make it a very fun last year at Yakushi for him. Shunpei slung an arm around the younger’s shoulder and rested his head on top of the other’s. “Ah, it’s cold, so warm me up,” he hummed blissfully.

Raichi squawked. “Argh, you’re heavy!”

My Legacy of Petsite Images

Here is a link to everything petsite-related I did up to 2010

I can easily double that list with what I've drawn since then, but it's always awesome to look back at old art to see how you've improved, right?

Of course that list doesn't  include all the older art on Suta-Raito

Dodge Game!

http://sutaro.com/sketch/2010/Dodge/Dodge.html

I made this game a few years ago and never finished it. (Bought the base coding, added some stuff, and did all the artwork) I'm so happy I uploaded it before my computer crashed. I don't have the original file saved though, so this is as finished as it will get. :(

Click to fly, use the Z and X keys on your keyboard to go faster or slower. Don't run into stuff, get the gems, avoid ghosts!
