Itachi's POV - Next morning

I woke up to my alarm blaring at 8:45am. I knew I shouldn't have any work today since I've been hard at work for the past few days, so I'll just check on things every now and then. I headed downstairs so I could begin breakfast. I looked in the fridge for eggs and bacon, then went into the huge pantry for pancake mix. After getting everything out, I cooked everything up and played it so I could serve Naruto and I's breakfast.

Naruto still wasn't awake even though Mrs.Uzumaki told me Naruto usually woke up at 9:00. The clock read 9:35 so I went upstairs to check on her and let her know breakfast had been served.

I knocked softly as to not scare her awake, but there was no response. I went in quietly and tapped Naruto on the shoulder gently. She furrowed her brows and looked up at me confused.

"Yes Itachi-San?" Naruto said tiredly. "Breakfast is ready for you, I made pancakes with eggs and bacon." I said in my usual monotone voice. She nodded at me and said "I'll be down soon, please give me about 10 minutes" she sounded as though she was in pain but I paid no mind since she had went out last night and could've gotten hurt. I nodded at her and prepared to leave until Naruto grabbed my shirt and said "Can you please put two pain relievers on a paper towel next to my plate with some warm water?" very quietly while her other hand held her stomach. I wondered what was causing her so much pain; I knew nothing about girls. I headed downstairs to do what she had asked.

Naruto's POV

When Itachi woke me up pain wrapped around me instantly. I knew exactly why; it was my period. I hoped I wouldn't have much to do today and that I wouldn't run into trouble. Period pains are my only weakness, they've always gotten the best of me. I guess even strong assassins have some type of weakness. I felt like crying, the pain was a lot for me to handle and I was supposed to make it to the bathroom and downstairs.

I know that my emotions will be all over the place so I can only hope I won't cry or get too angry with Itachi or any of the maids.

I head to the bathroom to get changed and prepared myself for the pain that is likely to last even after taking the pain relievers. After changing, I headed downstairs shakily feeling more pain with each step I took. I sat down at the island in the kitchen and drank the pain relievers instantly. I cut a piece of the stack of pancakes Itachi had made and as soon as I started chewing, I realized how great of a cook Itachi must be. The pancakes tasted like he had added cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix which added much flavor. I had to make sure to thank Itachi when I was done.

After eating the pain relievers still hadn't kicked in, but I was used to this happening. They hadn't worked for me for the past year, but I took them anyways in case it ever did. I walked around feeling like I was on fire, this always happens and I hate it, I felt like I could pass out but I needed to find Itachi to thank him for the food.

I looked in the living room first since it was closest and I didn't find him there, so I looked in the next best place; his office. I luckily found him there, I knew I need to lie down soon or I'd end up collapsing from the pain. "Thank.. you for the food Itachi." I said shaking trying not to cry from the pain.

"It's no problem" Itachi said without a smile. His look still reminded me of the dreaded villagers that beat me that horrible day, I began tearing up from the pain and from the memories. Itachi noticed this and his face slightly changed into a look of worry. "Are you okay Naruto?" I just nodded as usual.

"Please just tell me when something's wrong. I'm your new husband, you need to open up to me a little." Itachi said. In my state of mind it seemed like he meant it harshly, but I knew when I was my normal self I'd realize it wasn't. I finally let the tears fall and tried to leave shakily, but I ended up tripping and falling on my hair that fell from its bun on my way out. (I made her hair all the way to the ground, I think it'd be cute <3)

After falling I was in too much pain to get up, so I stayed there crying. On my way out I saw how shocked Itachi was that I had started crying. He probably has no idea what's going on, but I'll explain it to him some other time. All he needs to know is that I wasn't feeling myself.

He came out of the room right after I had fell. "Do you need help getting to your room?" He said with worry in his voice. I just nodded with tears still silently falling from my eyes. I got up with the help of the wall refusing to get help from Itachi. He held onto me by my upper waist, it made me wonder if he didn't like the thought of having his hand so close to my waist. I didn't worry much since I was still in excruciating pain.

Halfway up the stairs the pain, fatigue, headache, and shakiness all came crashing down what felt like as hard as it could and my body started loosening and my eyes started shutting. I knew I was passing out.

Itachi's pov:

I'm so used to not showing people emotions. I stopped making effort to show my emotions in elementary school when girls would take advantage of my kindness and think I all of a sudden I had fallen in love with them. When I'd reject them, even while still trying to be nice, they'd spread rumors saying I had yelled at them and made them cry. If that was what they wanted then so be it. As the years went on I got so used to it and rarely showed emotion to anyone. That's how I got into the situation I'm in now— Naruto's crying because I sounded a bit harsh when in reality I meant to show how worried I was. So, for the first time ever, I feel bad for not using emotions better.

She hung her head low while we were on our way upstairs, and then half way through, her grip on my hand loosened and her body felt limp. To make sure she didn't fall down the stairs, i decided I'd lift her bridal style up the rest of the stairs. I laid her down on my bed and noticed how warm her forehead felt. I went into my bathroom and took out a thermometer I had in one of my drawers.

I checked her temperature and was shocked to see that her temp was 102 degrees fahrenheit. I went downstairs to get a large bowl of ice water and a towel. I went back to my room and dampened the towel with cold water so I could put it on her forehead. It was only 11:50 so I went to my office and looked for people I could assassinate get their bounty while I waited for Naruto to re-awaken.
