A/N: I had to get this one out of my head. Those of you waiting for Crimson Ties, I am tweaking it and I won't let it fall this time. I have been busy but I have been working on it. It's down to the final chapters so it has to be good. But I love this series as well and had to do something with it. I apologize for the prologue being so short.

The night was bitter cold. The trees shivered violently in the wind. The waves lapped gently on the shore. A lone seagull cried out in the dark, but other than that everything was quiet. There wasn't a soul around.
The hotel was empty and deserted with nothing but a small sign hanging on the front door. It said 'Sorry. Closed for Renovations.' But the lone shadow knew that it would be opening up in a week or two.
They looked at the floor plans to the hotel again as they stood firmly against the wind outside. They smiled ferally to themselves.
'It won't be long now. Soon, Makoto. Soon…. We will have our revenge.' They thought calmly, slowly rolling up the floor plans and walking back to the boat they had rented.
They rowed back to the shore and paid their fee. They softly whistled 'The Entertainer' as they walked.
All bets were on. The plans were in place. Everything was secure. The only thing left to do was to wait.
They took in a deep breath of air and slowly let it out.
"Fiat justica et ruat caelum." they whispered into the dark.
Note: Fiat justica, et ruat caelum means 'Let justice be done, though heaven may fall.'
