Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN G.I. Joe or G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra...I WOULD love to own Snake Eyes though, haha. I only own my character Kai Namazaki, and any other OC's that you don't recognize. So...please don't sue me! I'm just a normal, well...semi-normal, college student with no money! Have mercy! LOL!

P.S.: Sorry if it's slightly descriptive, I'm still working on that...it's like...I have OCD when I go into details or stuff like that.
sign language will be in bold and if i decide to put in writing on paper or a notepad or on a tablet, it will be underlined. I also apologize if the characters are OOC, it's a little hard to get everyone's actions and personality right. So...I hope I was at least somewhat close to it.

Last time on "Shadowing the Past":
Everyone looked back and forth between the two ninja's, unsure of what to say or do. A thick, thick air of tension surrounded the table, causing everyone discomfort and unease. Kai softly groaned and buried her face into her hands, this DEFINITELY was a mistake. She looked back up at the two important men in her life, thinking of something to say to break them out of their staring contest. Rolling her eyes, Kai just decided to let them end it on their own, men will always be men.
"Uh...so...Storm Shadow...welcome to the team...?" Ripcord nervously greeted, finally speaking after a few minutes.
Kai's forehead fell onto the table, making a large "THUNKING" noise.
CHAPTER 24
Kai sat in the middle of Snake Eyes' bed, nervously wringing her fingers as Snake Eyes leaned against the wall with his arms crossed against his chest. She looked at him, wondering what he was thinking about, and seeing him with his full face mask/helmet and visor still on, made her even more nervous than she already was.
"Are...um, are you...mad at me?" Kai softly whispered.
Snake Eyes quietly sighed and shook his head, slowly uncrossing his arms as he walked towards Kai. He crouched down next to the bed, tilting his head to the side as he looked at her. He took off his gloves and placed it on top of the nightstand and then placed his hands on top of Kai's, gently squeezing it. Kai squeezed back and pulled her hands away, slowly and cautiously placing them on top of Snake Eyes' mask. She felt him nod his head, and she took off the visor and helmet, along with the cloth ninja mask, placing it on top of the nightstand. She looked up into his Sky Blue eyes, slowly taking a deep breath as she placed her right hand on his cheek, gently caressing his jaw.
"I-I know how much you hate Storm Shadow and everything, but...I really want and need you to trust me...please? I know it's hard to believe, but, I was there. He saved me and he helped me out, he...I guess he had a change of heart, which I know is really hard to believe. I just...I just want you to trust me on this, I know it's gonna be hard since you and him don't really get along...at all...but...I-I...just please?" Kai begged.
Snake Eyes silently stared at Kai, looking deeply into her eyes, trying to read her and her emotions. She was completely open, like a book, showing him everything she was feeling, and he couldn't help but see the honesty and determination in her eyes, believing that Storm Shadow really changed and that she trusted him.
"It will take a while...but, I guess I can try." Snake Eyes signed.
Kai gave a soft and relieved laugh and launched herself at Snake Eyes, wrapping her arms tightly against his neck, burying her face into his shoulder. She repeatedly thanked him, gently pressing kisses against his neck and jaw. Snake Eyes couldn't help but smile and quietly chuckled at Kai's attitude as he slowly wrapped his arms around Kai's waist, pulling her closer to him. He placed a gentle kiss on top of Kai's head, glad that he made her happy, even though it involved him playing nice with a guy he didn't really like. However, for Kai, he'll do it just for her. They slowly released each other, and Snake Eyes stood up, taking off his shirt and placed it inside the hamper. He walked back to his bed and laid down next to Kai, pulling her to him as he turned off the lights.
"Good night, Snake...love you..."
"I love you too..." Snake Eyes signed onto Kai's back.

"I don't trust you..."
"Take a number and get in line, Sweetheart. You ain't the only one."
"Can you blame any of us? ...and DON'T fucking call me Sweetheart!"
"Heh, you sound just like Kairi, whenever I give her pet names."
"PET NAMES? You call those PET NAMES? Argh! You are just...ARGH!"
Storm Shadow smirked as he watched Yumi angrily walked away from him and headed over to the punching bag, kicking and punching it with a lot of force and anger. She was very interesting and he found himself intrigued every time he watched her from afar ever since he joined a week ago. There were a few reasons as to why he was interested, she was very strong and talented, not to mention, very beautiful, even when she had a scowl on her face that she always directed towards him.
'What the hell...BEAUTIFUL? That crazy on'na? Shit...I MUST be getting soft to be thinking that.' Storm Shadow mused, shaking his head in disgust.
Smirking, Storm Shadow pulled out a throwing star, twirling it around his finger before he swiftly threw it at Yumi, who quickly rolled away onto the ground, dodging the attack, turning to watch as the lethal weapon embedded itself onto the punching bag. The whole room grew silent as all of the recruits watched as the young furious woman got up and angrily stalked over to the white-clad ninja, a deadly gleam in her Hazel-Brown eyes.
"You fucking son-of-a-bitch! You're gonna fucking pay for that, teme!" Yumi growled, pulling out her two long daggers from either sides of her boots.
"Whoops, my apologies...Sweetheart..." Storm Shadow smirked.
Yumi growled and twirled her daggers in her hands, running towards Storm Shadow with a deadly intent. Storm Shadow quickly unsheathed both of his katanas, blocking Yumi's onslaught of angry attacks that were aimed towards all of his vital points. He spun around so that Yumi's back was to him, and he immediately lifted up his right leg, kicking her in the back.
Yumi stumbled forward, embedding both of her dagger into the wall. She angrily pulled at it, trying to release it from the wall. She turned around and cursed as she managed to barely dodge the down swipe of both of Storm Shadow's katanas. She jumped back a few feet, and got into a fighting stance, tightening her hands into fists as she angrily glared at Storm Shadow's smug face. She ran towards Storm Shadow and quickly ducked down to dodge his katanas, spinning around so that this time, HIS back was facing towards HER. She quickly kicked out her right leg, which cleanly connected with Storm Shadow's right side, causing him to loudly grunt in shock. Storm Shadow quickly turned around, a similar glare matching Yumi's, on his own features. He immediately attacked Yumi, bringing down both of his katanas, but was shocked when his attacked was blocked by a metallic bo staff, the clashing of metal against metal echoing throughout the silent training room.
Turning their heads, both Yumi and Storm Shadow were surprised to see Kai tightly gripping the bo staff in her hands, with an extremely angry glare directed towards the BOTH of them. Snake Eyes was standing behind Kai, arms crossed against his broad chest, shaking his head in disbelief. Kai pulled the bo staff away and rested it against her legs, while Storm Shadow slowly sheathed both of his katanas. Yumi and Storm Shadow stared at Kai while she continued to glare at them, a frown on her lips.
"Just WHAT the hell do you two think you're DOING?" Kai yelled, causing Yumi and Storm Shadow to inwardly wince.
"He freaking attacked me!" Yumi defended herself, angrily lifting up her left arm and pointing it towards Storm Shadow who was standing a foot away from her.
Kai turned her head to glare daggers at her childhood best friend, tightening her grip on the bo staff in her hand.
"Nani? What the hell did I tell you, Storm! I told you to stay out of trouble! I'm putting my ass on the line here for you!" Kai growled.
"What? I was just testing out her abilities." Storm Shadow shrugged nonchalantly.
"If you wanted to test out my abilities, you should've just ASKED, like any NORMAL person would!" Yumi growled.
"Meh, too much trouble in talking, just doing it is faster." Storm Shadow smirked.
Kai growled loudl and swiftly hit Storm Shadow in the thigh with the bo staff. Storm Shadow yelped loudly in pain, immediately placing his hand on the bruised area, gripping it in pain. He glared at Kai, opening his mouth to speak but was cut immediately cut off.
"I will not hesitate to do that again. Pull another stunt like that, and you'll get to test out MY abilities. Don't push me, Tommy...I assure you that I WILL kick your ass, childhood best friend or not." Kai glared.
Storm Shadow mimicked her, but lifted up both of his hands in front of him, surrendering. He gently rubbed his abused thigh, incoherently mumbling Japanese curse words under his breath, shaking his head as he walked away from the three.
"Crazy ass bitch..." He grumbled.
"I heard that!" Kai called out.
Storm Shadow shook his head once more and just rolled his eyes, walking out of the training room. Kai turned and watched as Yumi walked over to the wall, pulling at her daggers a few times before she managed to fully pull it out of the walls. She sheathed her daggers back into her boots and walked on over back to Kai and Snake Eyes, who had taken the bo staff away from a reluctant Kai.
"Thanks, and I'm really sorry about that. I was just...ARGH! He pisses me off so much!" Yumi huffed, crossing her arms against her chest.
"That's Tommy for you. Never listens to anyone but himself, always thinks he's right no matter what, even if he's wrong." Kai commented, shaking her head.
"That's more or less him in a nutshell." Snake Eyes signed.
"Well...whatever. Next time he does that, I'm kicking his ass for sure." Yumi mumbled.
"Yeah, you might wanna be holding a katana or this next time, then." Kai suggested, nodding towards the bo staff.
"Gotcha, anyway, I'm gonna grab lunch. See you there." Yumi said, walking out of the training room.
Kai lets out a long, tired sigh, feeling a migraine start to slowly form. She shakes her head and looks up at Snake Eyes when he places a warm hand on top of her shoulder. Kai gives her boyfriend a weak and tired smile, shrugging her shoulders. She grabs his hand and walks out of the room, deciding to grab a bite inside the mess hall also.
Snake Eyes looks down at his tiny girlfriend, tilting his head to the side questioningly. Kai just softly laughs and shakes her head once more, replying with,
"Getting everyone to like Storm Shadow is gonna take a while."
