A New Beginning
Kaias' POV
Wow, first I was blinded by a flash bang and recovered from that, and now I am invited to become a member of the G.I. Joes. I just found out that my foster brothers are there and Snake Eyes, my sword brother from my training. I look around the silent airbase and sigh. I hear a sound and spin around, in the process taking out one of my throwing knives. The person I am pointing my knife at looks completely shocked. "Hey Kai, you don't need to kill my girlfriend." Oh its Ripcord, this must be one of the other Joes. "Rip I told you to call me Kaia, that is my name, and since when was a girl ever attracted to you?" I put my knife away and turn toward the run down shack at the edge of the runway. "Snake Eyes I know that your there, it seems that you have forgotten that it is almost impossible for you to hide from me."
Snake Eyes POV
"Snake Eyes I know that your there, it seems that you have forgotten that it is almost impossible for you to hide from me." Wolf Eyes, my sword sister. Why is she here? Kaia, it means Wolf Eyes in the ancient language. I step out of the shadows and turn my head to one side, as always she knows what I want. "I am here because I was recruited by the Joe's, and it seems that you were to, after you completed your training." I nod once and angle my head towards the airplane hangar and nod again, when I look back I see Ripcord and Scarlett just staring at us looking completely confused. "How…" I was hoping that they wouldn't ask. I look at Kai and nod. This not talking thing can get annoying sometimes. "I will explain later okay Rip, when Duke is here too." Okay good she is not telling them right away. I motion to the ship again and then motion toward the sun. "He wants to get to wherever we are going before night falls." I watch as Kaia picks up her stuff and walks towards the hanger, I shoot a glare at Scarlet knowing full well that she can't see it and then run after Kaia.
At The Pit
I flip out of the jet and land easily on the ground 20 feet below, not at all surprised when Kaia follows me down and silently lands beside me. I look around, looking for General Hawk. I turn around and face the jet when it lands, and watch as my team-mates get out. "Kaia? Damn girl what are you doing here." I turn and see Duke race up to her.
Kaias' POV
"Kaia? Damn girl what are you doing here." I spin around. "Duke!" He gives me a bone crushing hug. "Ow. Dude, can't breathe." He lets go, looking quite sheepish. "I am happy to see you to bro but you don't need to kill me okay." This time its Scarlett's turn to look confused. "Duke, you never told us that you had a sister." I give Duke a look that says 'really' and he just shrugs his shoulders. "I never thought that it was important." As Scarlett and Duke start arguing I look at Snake Eyes and mouth 'help me'. He nods and then motions for me to follow him, I do as I am told and follow him into a huge control center with a huge screen and at least 20 computers if not more. I see a man in a general's uniform speaking to a short guy. I step forward and say "sir." He turns to look at me "ah you must be Kaia, Dukes' foster sister?" I flinch at the word foster but meet his gaze and respond with "yes sir." I see Snake Eyes shoot me a glance; he must have noticed me flinch. "Snake Eyes her room will be connected to yours, we don't have any other rooms open. Show her where her room is. Your training starts on Monday at 0700 hours understood?" I am curious why they give me the weekend off but I follow Snake Eyes as he walks off. We walk back through the training area and I see Scarlett and Duke still arguing. I walk up to them. "Duke, down boy." I hear a laugh when Duke shuts up and looks at me. I turn around to see two people who look like they might be other Joes. "Wow, our 'mighty leader' gets told to shut up by someone younger than him, and actually obeys the order." Both of them are still laughing at him, or at me, I can't really tell. "He would follow an order from his sister." Both of them stop laughing at once. "Duke's SISTER!?" I roll my eyes and just glare at them. "But you don't even look like him." That's pretty obvious as soon as you see my face. In fact I actually look a lot like Snake Eyes, though I doubt that any of them know what he looks like. "Well thank you Captain Obvious. I don't look like him because I am not related to him." Scarlett and both of the new comers look at me with a strange look on their faces. Thankfully Duke steps in and explains. "My father was in the military, as was Ripcords, which was where we met. When we were like 10 years old. We met Kaia here when we were on a military base with our parents. She had been stealing food from the bases kitchen." He pauses and looks at the others, who thankfully stay quiet. "She claimed to be an orphan, and over the time that we were on the base we became friends with her. My father decided to basically adopt her, and when we grew up Rip and I decided to join the military and she joined us soon after that." As he finished the story I was watching the others, especially Snake Eyes because I was curious about what his reaction would be.
Snake Eyes POV
As Duke finishes his story I remember why Wolf left. The death of our master was especially hard on her. I remember, she went missing but every day there would be food left out for me in the kitchen, I didn't know who was putting the food out but it seems like it was her. After about a month the food wasn't left out anymore. That was Wolf!" I needed some time to think so I walked off, only stopping when I remembered that I needed to show Wolf to her room. I turned around and motioned for her to follow me. She did as I said and was giving me an odd look as we walked towards our rooms. I turn to her and sign 'what?' I obviously took her by surprise; I guess she didn't know that I knew sign language. "Why do you hide your face, brother?" I pause again and think for a second then sign 'you know why' and then keep walking. When we reach our rooms I stop and motion towards the door 'this is your room.' She nods and I walk off, I am going to the main room when I am stopped by Scarlett. "Snake, is something wrong?" I shake my head no and then try to keep walking but she stops me again. "Snake please." I shake my head again and flip over her and keep walking. I feel bad for Wolf, I know I shouldn't but I do.
At Dinner Time
All of this training is making me hungry so I head towards the mess hall to get some food before I go back to my room. As I enter the mess hall I look around, as usual Duke, Ripcord, Scarlett, Breaker, and Heavy Duty are eating at a table in the corner. As I walk toward the kitchen to get some food I look over at their table again. This time Scarlett notices me and puts her head down and says something to the others, after a moment all of them are looking at me. I keep walking towards the kitchen and once I got there quickly grabbed some food and made for the door, I don't need anyone bothering me right now. I hear Duke call out "hey Snake!" I turn around to face him as he jogs up to me. "Where were you during training? I had to take over for you." I shrug my shoulders. "Really? Snake you have been acting weird ever since Kai arrived, what's wrong?" I see the others coming over; I shake my head 'no' at Duke and then turn to leave, only to almost run into Kaia, I dip my head to her and keep going.
Kaia POV
I had a nap because of how early I woke up, and then since I was hungry I decided to go to the mess hall. When I got there I almost ran into Snake Eyes as he was leaving, he paused dipped his head and then left. Leaving me standing there completely confused. After a minute I went in and looked around to see Duke looking upset and Ripcord looking confused. "Hey Duke, what's up, and why did Snake Eyes look like he wanted to kill something?" It's a fair question to ask and I am really curious about why he was so mad. "He was mad?" It's one of the Joes that I don't know. "Yes…Why?" I look back at Duke. "Dude what did you do to piss Snake Eyes off so much that he wanted to kill something?" He looks at me and says "I don't know. He has been acting weird ever since you got here and we were worried. I asked him what was wrong and he just kept shaking his head no and then he left." I look around at all of them; it is obvious that they think it's my fault that he is acting weird. "What?" I want them to say that they think it's my fault. To my surprise it's Rip who speaks up first. "Kai, when we first came to pick you up you already knew who Snake Eyes was, and furthermore you knew where he was, and he was hiding!" The others were surprised, probably because Rip hadn't told them about that yet. "So what? All of you are acting like I killed him!" I look around and then Duke speaks up "Kai…" I whip my head around to face him. "What Duke?!" He flinches at my harsh words, and then I hear Rip. "Kai how did you already know who Snake was, is there something that you aren't telling us?" I growl at him. "Why would either of you care about my past?! You haven't before, and anyways why should I tell you two idiots?!" I look around at their shocked faces and then at Duke and Rip's hurt faces, I growl under my breath and then turn around and storm off. I hear them calling my name as I walk away, and as soon as I am out of the mess hall I make a break for it towards my room. Once I get to my room I lock the door and lie down on my bed. It has been a long day.
I hoped that you liked my first chapter, I will try to update as often as possible and when school does not get in the way.
