Another port-over from my defunct fic-journal. Didn't really edit this one, so I apologize for any glaring issues.
The moon shines overhead, haloed in ice. He stands silently at the base of the massive Sakura, staring expressionlessly into the massive sprays of pinkish white blossoms that adorn the branches. With an audible 'thud', a shapeless form drops unceremoniously from his arms, falling to rest silently on the barren ground.
He smiles, staring down at the white-clad form.
Maybe... this game has become a bit more interesting, after all.
With a wave of the hand, the motionless form disappears in a flurry of petals, leaving behind only the stale, metallic scent of blood and Sakura in its wake.
He reaches into his pocket, withdrawing a cigarette. With blood-tinged fingers, he raises it to his lips, and lights it, staring out into the horizon. He feels nothing.
