The first time she heard about her was on a Thursday afternoon.

Her youngest had just come home from the academy and was working on his homework at the kitchen table while she got started on dinner.

The six year old was amicably telling her about a scuffle that had occurred on the playground that day during recess.

"So then Kiba punched Naruto back in self-defense and that's when Iruka-sensei came and broke it up," he paused and she heard him take a sip of his water. "They both got put in the corner and were not given any cookies during snack time." He finished up and then went eerily silent.

Noticing his silence she looked away from washing the celery sticks and turned to the boy who now had a mixture of what looked like a pout and a scowl on his face.

"Is that all that happened dear?" She questioned him knowing there has to be more to this story.

He hesitated a bit before answering her. "Sakura felt bad cause Naruto didn't get a cookie so she gave one of hers to him."

Sakura?

Now Sasuke's talked plenty about the other boys in his class. How Naruto's a load mouth, how Shikamaru is always asleep, how Kiba always tries to sneak his dog in, Chouji is the one that's always eating and Shino has this weird obsession with bugs. But never, ever has Sasuke once mentioned a girl from his class. He's mentioned how all the girls in his class are annoying, but he's never given her a specific name. This immediately caught her attention; she stopped washing the vegetables and fully turned to face him.

"Sasuke darling, who's Sakura?" she questioned him. He instantly tensed up and a faint blush spread across his cheeks.

He fidgeted a bit before answering. "She's this annoying girl in my class. She always offers me one of her cookies during snack time and I always tell her no but the next day she asks again! But today…" He paused a moment, almost as if debating if he wanted to continue or not. "Today she didn't offer me one of her cookies," he continued a bit solemnly. "She didn't offer me one because she gave the one she normally offers me to Naruto."

Mikoto had to try hard to hold back a laugh from the look in her child's face. No she did not get joy from seeing her child upset, but what she did find funny was the reason behind it. He was so visibly upset because a girl didn't offer him a cookie the he would end up rejecting anyways.

"But Sasuke-kun," she began. "You never accept her cookie anyways, so isn't it okay for her to give it to another boy?" she asked. Judging by the look on his face this was clearly the wrong thing to say.

"Mother!" he exclaimed "Just because I don't want her cookie doesn't mean it's okay for her to go and give it to someone else! I'm the only one who she should offer it to!"

Mikoto took a seat at the table beside her youngest. "Well Sasuke-kun dear, maybe if you actually start accepting it then she shouldn't have to offer it another boy."

Given the look that befell upon his face you would think he just had a great epiphany, though in his eyes it probably is.

"You're right mother!" Chugging down the last of his water and grabbing his homework he jumped up from the table and ran off to who knows where. Once she was positive that he was out of earshot she let out the laugh that she had been holding back the entire time.

Sakura huh?

She's almost positive that this will not be the last time she hears that name.

A/N: So as the summary states, this story is mostly going to be about Sasuke and Sakura's relationship told through Mikoto's eyes. It's kinda going to have the same feel as my other fic "Their Story" as in it's going to start off with them young and then as the chapters go on they'll get older each time. This is kinda going to be a tie-in with my "Proposal" fic which if you haven't read you should totally go check it out! Please favorite/follow/review and I really do hope you guys have a very blessed New Year and a Happy 2015!
