Two Hearts, One Love

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Naruto. If I did, everyone would die by Garra's hand. Phooey… Oh, and I don't own Amanda either. … For obvious reasons, I hope…

A/N: … Once again I am not Amanda. Let's get that through now people…

Chapter 3

Sasuke looked down at the girl who took residence in his home. Her flame-like hair spilled out over the pillow her head laid on. It had been three days since she tried to remember and collapsed. He was starting to get worried, even if she was a total pain in the ass. In fact, he was so worried he sat beside her on his bed and held her hand in his, unaware of what he was doing.

As soon as his hand was wrapped around hers, she gave it a slight squeeze in her sleep. It gave him a kind of jolt, because then he realized what he was doing. He looked down to their holding hands, and blushed. (A/N: That's right, Sasuke blushed. I made him a total pansy! XD) His heart was pounding, and he didn't know why.

He didn't have long to ponder though, because, finally, after three days, she was starting to stir. Her eyes fluttered open as she slowly woke from her slumber. Sasuke quickly pulled his hand away before she could get her bearings. She brought her hand to her head, the previous pain just a dull ache.

"Ugh, I'm tired." She said slowly, her words slurring together.

"How could you be tired? You were sleeping for days straight!" He couldn't help with the yelling. She worried him to death. But when she turned her head to look at him, he saw her eyes start to shine with tears. 'Oh crap, I made her cry!' he thought to himself.

"That's no reason to start yelling at me! I was trying to help you find whoever the Hell you're looking for, didn't I?! I would think you should be more on the grateful side that I tried rather than the grouchy side because I slept for a long time!" she screamed at him. He was such a jerk!

He bit back his tongue, literally, and that hurt. He sighed. "Well, do you remember anything before you collapsed? Anything?" He couldn't allow these… whatever they were feelings to get in the way of his lifelong mission.

Her brow furrowed in concentration, hoping she could recall what she saw days ago. She shook her head slightly. "I remember seeing something, but I can't remember what I saw." she said sadly. She knew that he really needed whatever memories she had… that he… um… needed. Yeah…

Sasuke sighed again. This was going to be a lot harder than he thought. He rested his elbows on his knees and buried his face in his hands. Amanda could see how much he wanted to find this dude he was looking for. She felt kind of bad seeing him so depressed. Not really bad, she was still mad that he started yelling at her. But, still, she felt a little bit bad.

She whispered, as quiet as she could hoping that Sasuke wouldn't hear, "I'm sorry."

His ears could pick up the sound of her voice though. It had a clear tone, like bells. "Bah, it's not your fault." he said to her. He really didn't want to see her on the verge of tears again.

She hung her head down. She wasn't believing him, she still thought it was her fault.

Then, all of a sudden, she felt this immense shudder run down her back. It felt almost like someone was watching her every move, and it was creeping her out. She shot her head around to look outside Sasuke's window, but saw nothing but the usual hustle and bustle. 'Just my imagination, I guess…' Still, she couldn't help getting this feeling, and it scared her silly.

(Outside the window… Dun dun dun duh…)

'That was too close for comfort.' thought Hideki. (A/N: Finally, we know one of the ninja's names! XD) 'The girl has sharp senses, best be careful from now on.' What was most perplexing to Hideki was that the boy didn't notice him at all during the days he watched. Most perplexing indeed…

(Back inside Sasuke's bedroom…)

He wondered why she had just whipped her head around. It wasn't like there was something the matter outside, was there? Her beautiful blue-grey eyes… arg, what was he thinking? Her eyes held an essence of fear. There, that's better. His eyes darted to the window, but he saw nothing there. 'She must be paranoid.' he thought.

"Well, you must be hungry." he said, breaking the silence. "C'mon, I can make you something if you want."

As if on cue, her stomach made a slight growl.

"Erm, yeah, I guess I am hungry." she said sheepishly.

She got out of his comfy bed and followed him to the kitchen. It was very, very, neat. You wouldn't know a teenager boy lived here because it was so clean.

'Geez, this guy has got to get out more…' she thought to herself.

Sasuke made a simple meal of omelets and rice, but it was a good meal. Amanda's hunger had stopped.

"Now, I've a question for you…" said Sasuke. He was to a business-like tone.

'Crap…' she hoped that he wasn't going to ask her to try and remember anything about her past for awhile.

"I want to know what in the world happened in the bedroom. Why in the world did you start flinching all of a sudden?" It probably didn't mean anything good.

"Well, actually, I had a really weird feeling." Her answer came out in a whisper.

"What?!" 'No good, no good, no good!' He flew up the stairs and opened the bedroom window. A tap on the shoulder startled him.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong here?" Amanda's voice came out in a timid squeak. Her whole body had started to shake when she saw Sasuke run up the stairs in a panicked frenzy.

He didn't answer at first, wondering how best to tell her this would be trouble if he couldn't even sense the chakra of a spy that could be lurking anywhere. But when he turned around to tell her what he had finally formed in his mind to say, her face told of fear. He couldn't tell her now, not when she was so fragile.

"It's nothing. Just a little worried, but nothing to fret about." he lied.

Her face went to that of relief. "That's good. I thought we were under attack or something." she said with a smile.

Only Sasuke knew they very well could be at any moment.

A/N: So, I have nothing to say. So, reveiw if you want, but I'm not gonna stop you if you don't. I mean. I won't make you if you don't want to. I mean, you know what? I'm gonna shut up now.
