Author's Note: Here's goes the eight chap you guys… anywayz, my computer has some unknown virus and that's what my sister said (she's in the Philippines and I asked her about it) that's why there's always an error on fanfiction and can't connect and sometimes, it will just suddenly show my stories like what some people said. They have received the alert but the chapter is not there… you know what I mean and I really don't know why so maybe the virus is reason…

Well… thanx for the reviews guys and enjoy this chappie… Oh I forgot to tell you, you'll know who is SHE in this chapter and don't worry. It's not his ex or anything that will get in their way. Cuz SHE is a good character.

Girl Next Door

Continuation…

Flashback

"Mommy where are you going?" A five year old Sasuke said.

"It's none of your business. Go to your room and be quiet. Come on Itachi." Mikoto Uchiha said. Sasuke looked down with sadness.

It's always Itachi here, his Itachi there. It's never him.

"Daddy, are you coming with mommy?" Sasuke asked. He looked at Fugaku Uchiha with a smiling face, expecting his dad to stay and play with him but unfortunately, no.

"Yes I'm coming. Stay at home and don't go outside unless someone is with you." His dad said but not looking at him.

"Itachi hurry up or we'll be late." Fugaku said, walking out of the door.

"Okay father." A twelve year old Itachi said and followed his dad.

"Now Sasuke, don't get into any trouble." Mikoto said.

"Yes mommy." Sasuke sadly said and went up to the stairs to his room.

"This is so boring? Why do I always have to stay at home and they can go out?" Sasuke lay on his bed and started bawling.

"It's not fair." Whined the raven haired boy. Sasuke was deep in thought when the door suddenly opened, revealing Mitoko, Makoto's mother, which is Sasuke's grandmother.

"Hello grandma!" Sasuke greeted.

"Awww… why is my dear Sasuke crying?" Mitoko asked. She then sat on his bed and run her fingers through his hair.

"Mommy and daddy left me with Itachi again. How come they never stay at home?" Sasuke sat up and hugged his grandmother.

"You see, they are taking care of important business my dear. If they don't, you wouldn't live in this mansion or have many toys." Mitoko explained.

"But I don't need to live in a mansion. I don't need toys as long as they're here." Sasuke said.

Mitoko smiled. He's such a sweet boy. She thought. "Well, grandma is here. You know what? I have something for you." She said.

Sasuke smiled at her. "Really?" He asked.

"Uh-huh. Here." Mitoko said, revealing a nano ipod in her hand.

Sasuke took it and looked at her in confusion. "What is this?" he asked.

"It's an mp3 player. Remember you told me you want one? Well, here it is." Mitoko said.

"Yay! Thanks grandma. I will cherish this forever." Sasuke said, promising.

Because if this, Mitoko laughed. "My boy, there are many things in this world you can cherish forever more valuable than this ipod. You'll see, when you grow up, you'll understand." Mitoko smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded.

End of Flashback

"Sigh… maybe I should pay her a visit." Sasuke said, laying on his bed with his hands behind his head.

-
-

"Sasuke what are you doing and suddenly breaking in inside my house without knocking?" Sakura asked angrily.

"Come on… I'll show her to you." Sasuke said dragging the pink hair out of her house.

Her? I wonder who she is. His ex? But if it is, then why would he show her to me? What an idiot. Sakura thought.

She was then being placed by Sasuke in his black motorcycle.

-
-

"Sasuke where are we going?" Sakura said loudly.

"We're going to see the woman who gave the ipod to me." Sasuke answered. It was when Sakura put on a sad face. She didn't mean to break his so called precious ipod. She just got carried away that time. She didn't know what came up to her that made her do that except that fact that she's getting scared of Sasuke form for driving.

"Sasuke…" She whispered but Sasuke still heard it.

"Hmn?" He asked. Sakura shook her head and said, "Nothing."

"Don't worry about it." Sasuke said.

"Huh?" A confused Sakura said.

"I said don't worry about it… the ipod. It's okay." Sasuke said seriously.

"But… it's special and—" Before she could finish what she supposed to say, Sasuke interrupted her.

"I said don't worry about it." He said aloud. Sakura just looked down and said, "Okay."

-

Brrooom…. Brrooom… Brrooom.

"Sounds like a motorcycle. Sasuke went to visit me." An old woman's voice said.

She then hurried at the front door to welcome her favorite grandson.

-
-

Sasuke parked at the front door of an old average house. He then took off the key and put it inside his pocket. On the other hand, Sakura has no idea where they were and it was very far from his and her house.

All she can see is a far farm on the east side, many houses but not like the houses she sees in the urban. Chickens and chicks and be seen around running and also some cows and goats near the farm.

This is totally different and I just realized that this place is rural. Sakura thought.

"Hello Sasuke!" The old lady greeted, waving her hands. Sasuke smiled and tapped Sakura. She then snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Sasuke's smiling face. Then, the both of them get off the motorcycle and approached the lady.

Sasuke was ahead of Sakura and she was really in thought not noticing the lady who was waiting for them.

"What brings you here?" The lady asked. This snapped Sakura back to reality. She then looked at the lady who's smiling at Sasuke. Who's she? She thought.

Sasuke then hugged the woman tightly, smiling. This made Sakura smiled for some reason. She hasn't seen Sasuke this happy before. Wonder why. She thought.

"Just wanted to visit you grandma." He said to Mitoko.

Grandma? But how come she looked so poor? Sakura thought.

"Sasuke, who is this beautiful young lady here?" Mitoko looked at Sakura from head to toe and smiled. Sakura smiled back. Sasuke then looked at Sakura.

"She's—" Sasuke was cut off.

"Hi! I'm Sakura. Haruno Sakura." Sakura smiled at the lady.

"I see. I'm Sasuke's grandmother, Uchiha Mitoko." Mitoko introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Uchiha." Sakura said politely. Mitoko nodded.

"Well, are we just standing here? Come on in." Mitoko said.

Then they all went inside.

-
-

"I'll just grab something for you two to eat." Mitoko said to the two sitting figure in her sofa.

"I'll do it grandma." Sasuke said. His grandma just nodded. Mitoko then sit across Sakura.

Silence overtook them until Mitoko spoke.

"Are you Sasuke's girlfriend? You're a nice and beautiful girl." Mitoko asked and commented.

"Umm… thanks for the comment but me and Sasuke were just… friends." Sakura explained.

"I see." Mitoko said.

Sakura really want to ask Mitoko a lot of question but she just can't. What if it sounds too personal and all? She just needed courage to do it.

"You can ask me questions if you like." Mitoko suggested. Sakura nodded.

She first took a deep breath and spoke. "If you're Sasuke's grandmother, ummm… why do you live in such place like this?" Sakura asked but looked down for the reason that the question may sounds harsh or something.

"Oh that! Well, yeah… I know what you mean. To tell you the truth, I'm sick of swimming in green papers, living in luxury and all so I decided to live here." Mitoko explained.

Sakura nodded and Mitoko just continued.

"When I told them I'm living my life for a while, they were devastated but I didn't care. Even Sasuke don't want me to live here. He wants me to live in my house or his house but I insisted to live here." Mitoko smiled and still continued.

"He always says, "Grandma, it's hard to live alone. No one will take care of you especially when you're sick. It's not like I'm always there. Grandma you sure will gonna give me a heart attack." Though I'm that stubborn, he supported me on what I want with my life and here I am, happily living without any problem." Mitoko Finished.

Sakura smiled and said, "I understand."

"Sasuke is a sweet guy. Isn't he?" Mitoko said.

"Yeah I guess but what I thought for him is so wrong." Sakura said. Mitoko gave her a confused looked. "What do you mean?" She asked.

Sakura gave her a sad smile and explained. "I always thought he's an arrogant bastard that has nothing to do except to smirk and tease me. I always thought of him a jerk who doesn't know how to give up. I always thought of him as a guy who doesn't care what's around him…" She finished, not wanting to say the other words. (A/N: Guys this is not that time for me to say what the other words are so better watch out.)

"Oh… well, you can tell that he's like that but he's just being an oddball cuz his family always neglects him. If you haven't notice, Sasuke only live by himself fat his mansion." Mitoko said.

"Yeah… but I know that Sasuke lives alone. I sometimes go to his house to cook for him or do assignments." Sakura said.

"That's good then." The old woman said. Sakura nodded.

Silence again took over…. Until Sasuke came back with a box of pizza in his left hand and three soft drinks in a tray on his other hand.

"Wow. You look like a waiter or something." Sakura said. Sasuke just smiled at her.

"Where did you get that Sasuke?" Mitoko asked. Sasuke put the food down on the table and sat beside Sakura.

"I forgot I don't know how to cook anything and I can't find anything good in here so I decided to got out and get some pizza." Sasuke answered.

"But there's cookies and water in there." Mitoko said.

"But grandma, that's all I ever eat every time I go here." Sasuke whined like he was a five-year old boy.

Mitoko and Sakura just giggled.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing Sasuke." Sakura said.

"Grandma, do go tell Sakura so much about me. She'll make fun of me." Sasuke said.

Sasuke's so cute. Sakura thought.

"Don't worry; I don't need to tell Sakura that. I bet she's figuring it out herself." His grandma said.

"Hn." He laconically said.

"Anyway, why don't you guys stay here for a couple of days?" Mitoko suggested.

"But we just started school." Sasuke said.

"Awwweee come one Sasuke. Let's stay here just for even one week. Don't tell me you like school that much?" Sakura teased.

"No I don't." Sasuke said.

"Yes you do."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do."

"No I don't"

"Yes you do."

"No I don't."

"Yes you—"

"Ahem. Is that how you guys fight? You're worse that some lovers. Are you guys secretly on?" His grandmother smirked.

The both of them blushed. "No we're not secretly on and will you stop smirking?" Sasuke and Sakura said in unison.

Mitoko just giggled.

"Come on red tomatoes. Just stay for a week. I'll call the school and tell that you guys needed to help me on something for a week so that you'll be excused." Mitoko said.

"That's cool." Sakura smiled.

"Fine." Sasuke said emotionlessly.

-
-

Night came and Sakura and Sasuke were still arranging their clothes on their cabinet. Good thing Mitoko has three room or else, they will have to share one room together.

-
-

"Thank you Joe for bringing their stuff in here." Mitoko said to the man in front of her house.

"No problem ma'am." Joe said.

"Okay then."

"Well, I'll be going now. Have a good night." Joe bid his goodbye.

"You too and thank you again." Mitoko said. She then closed the door and went to see if Sasuke and Sakura are done organizing.

-
-

Hours of arranging, Sasuke and Sakura got tired and said, "What a drag." And lay down on their bed both thinking the same thing. "Good night Sakura/Sasuke."
