Dedicated to @dragonskeep for following me, and her kitty background! ^w^
Recap:
Kumiko's P.O.V.
"Ahem." I coughed, getting the rest of Team Seven's attention. "You guys, I want to tell you something Sasu-kun, Naru-kun, and I have, which Naru-kun does not know of yet."
"Well? What is it?" Kakashi-sensei asked curiously.
"Err....How do I say this..." I scratched the back of my head nervously. "We can mentally communicate with each other...?"

Chapter 31 - No, Vomiting Doesn't Make You Stronger
Kumiko's P.O.V.
"......" Kakashi-sensei and Sakura was speechless.
"W-What?" Sakura's jaw dropped.
"Yep." I nodded. "We can mentally communicate with each other." I smiled nervously.
"REALLY?!?!" Naruto exclaimed with sparkles in his eyes. "THAT'S SO COOL!!!"
I sweatdropped. "Yeah, I guess so."
"Interesting." Kakashi-sensei noted. "This could change things during battles."
"Naru-kun, you just need to kinda mentally direct your thoughts to whoever you want to speak too." I said, smiling at him.
"Okay!" He exclaimed, before closing his eyes. **Kumi-chan? Am I doing this right?**
**Yep.** I thought back. **That's right, Naru-kun!**
"That's epic!" Naruto opened his eyes and laughed, and Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"That is pretty cool." Sakura agreed.
"I haven't gotten the chance to tell you, or I just kept forgetting." I explained to Naruto. "Sorry." I ruffled his hair.
"That's okay, Kumi-chan!" He grinned. "It's still really cool!"

(A/N: Sorry for all the timeskips, but I wanted to move this story along a little faster >.<)
Kumiko's P.O.V.
"Yaaa! It's been a long time since we've had a meal with this many people!" Tazuna exclaimed as his family and Team 7 began to eat the meal Tsunami prepared.
"Thanks for preparing our dinner, Tsunami-san! It's very delicious." I smiled slightly at her.
"Hehe, thanks, Kumiko-chan." She laughed.
"Seconds please!" Naruto and Sasuke shouted in sync, after finishing up their food in barely a minute, glaring at each other.
I sweatdropped at them. "What are you two doing?" I asked rhetorically. "If you eat that much, you'll-"
They both turned to the side and threw up, and I facepalmed as they vomited all over Tsunami's floor.
"Baka!" I scolded both of them. "Why bother eating if you guys are just going to throw it up? You're just wasting food, and Saku-chan already told us about the Land of the Waves situation when she went shopping with Tazuna while we were training!"
"No, I'll eat." Sasuke protested.
"I have to eat even if it means enduring." Naruto said determinedly.
I grew an irkmark. "Bakas! Are you guys even listening to me?" I yelled.
"I have to get as strong as quickly as possible, so..." Naruto continued, explaining.
"Yeah, but vomiting doesn't help you get stronger!" I bonked both of them on their heads.
"Oww..." Naruto whined while Sasuke frowned and rubbed where I hit him.
"It only wastes your energy and the food. Here." I place a bowl of rice along with a few potatoes and pieces of bread to Naruto and Sasuke. "Eat this, WITHOUT vomiting. Otherwise...." I smile sweetly as an dark, evil aura surrounded me. "I'll kill you both." I closed-eyes smiled.
They both shuddered and began to eat slower than before.
After our meal, Tsunami set out cups of tea for us. "Thanks again." I smile kindly at her.
"No problem! After all, you guys are also helping us." She smiled, washing the dishes.
I picked up the cup and took a sip.
Sakura stood up and noticed a picture with a man torn out of it. "Excuse me, why is there a torn picture hanging here?" Sakura wondered.
I noticed how Tazuna and Inari immediately looked down, and Tsunami paused a moment before washing the dishes again.
'Oh shoot.' I thought. 'This person must've been someone important to them. Saku-chan, please don't say anymore!' I frowned slightly.
