Concatenating fasta files for BLAST

$

I have two fasta files from WormBase.  One is the coding transcripts, the other is ncRNA.  When I BLAST (using NCBI Blast+) 44k 60-mers against just the transcripts, I get 37,216 hits.  When I concatenate the  ncRNA fasta file to the transcripts file (and do makeblastdb again) I get 33,572.  I know that several of these 60-mers hit both the transcripts and the ncRNA so I need to BLAST them together.   How do I do that without losing ~4k hits?
