Two Hearts, One Love

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with the manga/anime Naruto (though it would be so cool if I did ) nor do I own Amanda. Unlike, perhaps, some of you, I don't like keeping my friends in jars.

A/N: Okay. It's me again. I'll tell you again for the people who didn't pay attention last time; I am not Amanda. I am Stephanie. Name Class 101. Since she wrote a fanfic for me, I thought I'd do the same for her. Let's get that through, okay? Okay.

Chapter 2

She woke in a daze. 'I guess this is around what a hangover might feel like…' she thought to herself. Then she wished she hadn't. Her head was pounding furiously, like someone's alarm clock was going off inside her brain.

When she tried to get up, she realized she couldn't. She was bound with a very thick rope around her arms and waist, and around her ankles. Her lungs were still working though. She started her screaming.

"Where the Hell am I?!? Who the Hell tied me up?!? I swear to God, if someone doesn't answer me soon, I'm gonna whack somebody's head off!"

A hand came over her mouth as she continued her cursing. She looked up to see Sasuke, to whom the hand was attached. He had a finger pressed against his lips.

'Oh you arrogant son-of-a-…'

"Listen up, I didn't think you were a kunoichi, and it seems I was right. Now, shut up and listen." He said coldly.

She muffled into his hand, which was still covering her mouth. It went along the lines of, "To Hell to listening to you!"

He continued with his explanation. "You're in my home, I tied you up, and you aren't whacking anyone. Got it?" He was seriously thinking of putting her back to sleep. He could actually put up with her when she wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs.

When she seemed to settle down, he removed his hand. As soon as he did, she started screaming again. So, naturally, he put his hand on he mouth again. He was getting annoyed again. Most girls would be overwhelmed that Sasuke was touching them, even if it was just a hand on their mouth. So why was this chick not responding in the same way?

He mentally slapped himself. Like he should care. He just needed her to shut up.

"Listen girl," he told her. "I need you for something." He looked her straight in the eye to make sure she wasn't getting the wrong idea like last time. "I need you to help me find someone."

'And for that you go and tie me up?!?' She was thinking about how best to kill him when she got loose. 'Well, I'm not gonna let him tell me what I have to and not do.'

CHOMP

"ARG!" he yelled. Sasuke quickly pulled his hand away. There were huge teeth marks in his palm where he held it against Amanda's mouth.

"Great, now my mouth tastes of jerk…" was the simple reply. "Now, let's back up a minute here. Why the Hell would you need me to find this dude you're looking for?" She really, really didn't like the thought of being a human bloodhound for this creep.

He was surprised she didn't draw blood, it hurt that much. Getting his chakra sucked out of him, he could handle. Getting bit on the palm, well, that was a new experience. "Because you're the only one that's gotten close to him that he hasn't killed."

"… What?" She wasn't believing what she was hearing.

He sighed. Of course, she said it herself. She didn't have her memory. "Do you remember anything before yesterday? Anything at all?"

She had no idea what he was talking about. 'Eh, might as well try…' She scrunched her face in concentration.

They were inside a darkened room. He turned to face her. She couldn't see his face, but knew she could trust him. He stretched his hand to her face. "My dear, I must bid you goodnight. Sleep well…"

җҗҗҗҗ

Sasuke could see she was trying, but he couldn't tell if she saw anything relating to his target. He needed to know where he was…

"Ugh, my head…" She winced from the pain she brought upon herself. Or maybe it was because she was bound so tightly. Hint hint.

Sasuke took the Author's hint like a good little character should (Bite me.) and undid the ropes. As soon as they released her from their grasp she could feel the blood circulate. But, in this case, it wasn't the ropes that caused the pain in her head. She tried so hard to keep the picture of what she just saw, but the more she tried, the fainter it got. Soon, she couldn't remember a thing about what she saw.

The last thing she remembered before collapsing was falling into Sasuke's outstretched arms.

(Somewhere else…)

"I've grave news, sir." Said the voice by his leader. 'Grave for me, it is, seeing as how I'm the one who has to tell you.' He thought to himself.

"What is it?" the other speaker asked. He showed no emotion in the way he spoke.

"Well, sir, you remember how you told us to get the girl before your brother?" his voice shook with fear.

"Yes, I remember. It only happened yesterday, and I'm not of the age where I forget what happens every other minute."

His spy gulped. This isn't good then. "Well, I regret to say this, but one of our shadows found him taking off with her."

There was a pause.

"Your brains and blood would be everywhere right now, except for the fact I just finished the room for her, and blood stains are so hard to get out nowadays…"

"B-But sir, we also know where the girl i-is! W-We could send someone to kill the boy and bring her back!" He didn't like the thought of his brains being splat against the wall.

The leader took a moment to think about this suggestion. "You will go to where he is, but you will not touch either of them. This may work out to be in my favor after all… Of course, make sure you are not seen. If you are, I will not hesitate again."

His spy mentally sighed. He had been spared… For now…

"Also, when you go out, bring back a light bulb. I'm tired of the Author using dialogue to describe our situation." said his leader.

"Right sir, how many watt does the light fixture take again?"

"40."

(A/N- Me: Thanks a lot, you totally killed the mood here. Jerk.

Mysterious voice: I'm quite tired of 'this voice and that voice.' I would like the readers to know how devilishly handsome I am. That, and I've bumped into that stupid coffee table twice, and I'm sick of it.

Me: Whatever…)

And so the shinobi went to the whereabouts of Uchiha Sasuke and Amanda.

… And to the general store to get the stupid light bulb. Feh…

A/N: Yeah, okay, I like using humor in my stories. P
