GFI Install and no voltage over .1?

I've successfully installed 2 GFI outlets on other circuits for bathrooms however aren't able to install one in my kitchen. Two 12/2 cables are coming into the gang for the outlets line and load however unlike the other two gfi outlets and all i've ever seen, both of the wires black/white are only reading .1 volts? Is this possible? I imagine their is some sort of short somewhere as when both wires are hooked up to a normal recepticle, it correctly reads a little over 120. I've hooked up multiple GFI's to the wires thinking it could be the GFI and even reversed the load and line wires as one way does show the green light that it has power but won't reset suggesting its backwards but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas or assistance is extremely appreciated! Thanks
