Hello Everyone. Thanks to those that Reviewed. I really appreciate it. Also, I finally figured out how to put chapters in instead of posting them as a new story, so if you are wondering why some of my stories disappeared I just transferred them to the original first chapter is all. Okay then.

Disclaimer: I only Own Kylie, not Snake, not Liquid, not even the pansy Otacon (sorry Otacon fans.)

Kylie walked into the room and laid down on her cot and stared at the ceiling. She rolled over on her side and grabbed the package from underneath. "I almost forgot about this." She said to her self as she started to open it. Once the package was open Kylie almost dropped the contents onto the floor in shock. In her hand was a sheathed katana. The sheath was old and worn but inside was an extremely well made blade. "This can't be what I think it is." Kylie lifted the blade and set it on her index finger. "Perfectly balanced." She noted. Kylie looked at the hilt and noticed there was something wrapped around it. "Hello, what do we have here?" Kylie unwrapped the small piece of paper and read it.

Dear Kylie,

I regret to inform you that Grey Fox has died. The sword you know hold in your hand was indeed his. He told me that if anything was to happen to him to give it to you. You were his only student, and he was sorry he ever let you leave. Once again, I am sorry to tell you this horrible news. Be safe.

Yours Truly,

Naomi Hunter.

Kylie starred at the paper through tear filled eyes, her hands shaking uncontrollably. "How...How could this have happened?" Kylie asked her self while letting the note fall to the ground. Kylie's knees gave way, forcing her to sit on her cot. She held the sheathed blade close to her as she let tears fall freely down her cheeks. She hadn't cried like this sense she left her home with Gray Fox. Then a thought struck her. How did Naomi know where she was? She hadn't had any contact with her sense a year before Ocelot showed up.

Naomi Hunter used to live with Grey Fox, she was his sister and she helped take care of Kylie. Naomi had left South Africa a year before Ocelot showed up to take Kylie away. Some of Kylie's earliest memories where of Naomi teaching her how to play hopscotch after a training session with Fox. Kylie couldn't remember anything about her life past the age of 5. It was all a blur to her, almost like it never happened.

Kylie wiped some tears away from her eyes as she starred at the note on the floor, then she noticed something. In the corner of the note was more writing but it was small. Kylie picked the note up and examined the small print closer. "1...4...0...2...6." Kylie looked at it again. "140.26. It's a codec frequency!" Kylie was about to access her codec when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from down the hall. Kylie starred at the frosted glass window of her door and waited for the approaching footsteps to stop. The footsteps got closer and a blurred image of a person stopped in front of the door. "Kylie, are you in there?" Called Wolfs voice. Kylie quickly hid the sword under her cot and rushed to open the door. "There you are. You should have been..." Wolf stopped in mid sentence and reached out to wipe a tear stain off of Kylie's cheek. Kylie unconsciously flinched at the touch. "You've been crying, mind telling me why?" Wolf asked. Kylie starred at Wolf and forced back the oncoming tears. "I umm...received a message earlier." Kylie said while walking over to her cot. Wolf walked into the room and shut the door behind her. "What did this message say?" Wolf prodded. Kylie could feel the tears forming as the contents of the note replayed in her head. "Fox is...is..." Kylie couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. She handed the note to Wolf as tears started to find there way down her tan cheeks once again. Wolf read the note then sat down next to Kylie. "Not to be rude Kylie, but you can't let this get to you. We're in the middle of an operation and we can't afford to make any mistakes." Kylie wiped away the tears and nodded in agreement. She knew full well what could happen to a person if emotions got in the way in the middle of a battle field. "I just wanted to tell you that Decoy Octopus is back early. There will be a meeting in the briefing room in about a half hour." Wolf walked to the door and opened it. "Don't be late."

Kylie cleaned up and changed her close. She looked over at the clock and realized that she had twenty-five minutes left. "I need some air." Kylie walked outside and headed for the platform where Wolf was hiding earlier. She laid down on her back and starred up through the tops of the trees. Kylie glanced at her watch. "Fifteen minutes.....I wonder who that codec frequency belonged to." Kylie accessed her codec and rolled over onto her stomach.

Crimson Lord: In response to your comment I received recently, let me just inform you that I am only 16. There are going to be some mistakes in my work, and some things are going to happen that aren't possible. This is an alternate storyline to the game Twin Snakes. I don't mind that you inform me of my grammatical errors, but please don't criticize what happens in the story. Thank you.
