Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Hornet and Phantom. Enjoy the 5700-word chapter. I do not own Bleach, Tite Kubo and a few others do.

Sui and Riku seemed to question what to do next. It had been something odd for now at the end of the day. it was something terrible for now. It had been an odd little thing as of the question of what to come next.

Whatever honestly came before now? It'd be something fun for now. Riku didn't expect this to come and question at the time being. He seemed to be oddly at peace before now to question.

"Are you going to fight someone who's just going to try and kill you as easily as it seemed to be done before now," Sui questioned before she sighed to herself?

She had crossed her feet under her, curious what to do next before it was honestly too late. The idea had been something odd for now and it seemed as if it'd be one for the end of the day when it came down to it. What to do next?

"This is probably going to be a long day, isn't it?" Riku questioned as he ignored her question. "And secondly? You already asked that already and I said yes. I can't just back down because he's stronger and more commonly skilled… He had been a lot stronger, but I can't just back down because they're dangerous." Riku stated before he seemed to question to happen before all of this was done and dusted.

He had been a lot more to question before today was done and dusted as of the second. He was to question more about what to do next. He was odd to handle the idea while he seemed to consider his options before now… Yet if he was honest? This idea at least had some sort of where he wanted it to have been for the time being… Whatever came next would be a weird little problem for him at the end of the day. it had been an odd little thing.

She sighed, questioning for now, what little for now at the end of the day. It had been weird like how those little things seemed to be going for now. It had been something that needed to be done for now. What little had been done and dusted for the time being when it came down to it.

There had been a lot more problems for now. He seemed to be a lot more focused. He tilted his head before slowly sitting up.

"Are you going to be, ok?" Sui heard from Riku as of the second before she sighed and sat up entirely.

"Yes, I'm entirely fine. I'll be fine for now. I'm just a bit thrown off by now." Sui stated before she sighed and crossed her legs under her again. "It's funny. I didn't expect to be this ok." Sui heard as she tilted her head to the side, it had been something odd for now.

He questioned before the moment as of now what had been done and dusted at the moment, it hadn't been much of a problem for now. What little he did next would probably be the end of him, what little he did know was just how terrifying things had been for now.

Sui rolled her eyes at her friend; she knew he had been through something before now. That was going to be the death of her no matter what. It had been something heatless for her to simply abandon her men for now. What little they agreed on, for now, were tactics and ideas. She had no real idea what had been brought out by her soldiers or how this would end up going for now. It had been something small to handle for now.

She leaned against her friend's chest. It had been… Nice, to find someone who didn't hate her. Nice to find someone who had been willing to work with her for now, it had been nice to know that something could be done to stop it, what he did know was this was going to be good.

"You know, there are times where I question if I will be a soldier for a longer time than I am alive… If I will die as one." Riku heard from everyone as he turned and started to look around.

He knew more than everyone how little this would end up biting them in the ass. It had been something terrible to admit, but she liked the company others had given her.

"Well, it's always nice to know the person watching your back isn't a heartless fish who only cares about himself, isn't it?" Riku asked as she got a snort in response. "You know it's not easy dealing with being expendable, right? Sometimes I wonder if you're going to be throwing us to the wolves for now… It isn't a big deal when you're dealing with someone in this manner. It isn't exactly like you're enjoying yourself so far, is it?" Riku questioned to which he sighed as he did so, there was only so much he could do to calm the beast inside her.

He knew she was a lot more than he could handle, that she was a beast inside of her skin and she didn't enjoy the idea that she had put herself on later. Whatever she did next would be of her own making, not his. She was a lot odder than she had started to handle before it seemed to be a weird little thing.

She seemed to be a problem and she knew for a fact that there were more problems when it came down to as of now. Whatever to handle what had been done and dusted before he handles when it questioned before now. it seemed to be a weird little problem when it seemed to handle.

She sighed and leaned backward before now. She seemed to do something thing. She seemed to be in the front and she knew for a fact that this ended before now. She looked around before now, whatever to handle what the fight had been done, and dusted off his clothes. He was oddly curious as to how this had been done and dusted.

She seemed to handle it a lot more peacefully than anyone else than it had been done and dusted. She tilted her head, curious about his move for now. She tilted her head towards her what to do next. The move was a lot more curious for now.

She tilted her head before now, she smiled at him before he looked at her sword before he questioned what to do next.

Sui was a quiet woman she was a lot more curious for the moment. She had more business to attend to, one which needed to be done and dusted.

"You are going to be prepared for now, what Argimenus was to be doing when it seemed to be when it seemed to be?" Sui stated before he hummed to himself, tilting his head as well.

Still? He had more to do, more moves to make, more questions. The idea that had been planted in his head was a problem that this was to be done and dusted, whatever he did next? The idea was monstrous, but it could be done and dusted the idea had been a problem that needed to be dealt with, for now, something small.

He tilted his head, curious for now, What the next move would be? He could not fathom, not once did he wish for something that came down to their skill, their powers, their abilities for the time being, whatever came next to the forefront for now what to came down to next. He seemed to handle while he tilted his head, what it seemed to question for now. He seemed to handle it for now at the end of the day.

He was a lot more focused on how to end when it was all done and dusted. He knew more than anything when it was all said and done. They had a lot more to focus on when it came down to the question when it seemed to be over with. There was more on this path, more that had yet to be done and dusted. There was a lot more to question when all was said and done. He had a lot more to focus on this way. He knew more than anything when it was done and dusted. They had more to prepare for the worst.

"We need to hit them hard when they're ready while he sighed to himself," Riku stated before he rolled his eyes.

He prepared, for now, more than anyone. He knew she wanted him at his finest. He knew more than she what defeat would bring and he was not willing to give up anytime soon. Still? there was a lot/

He hummed to himself as he prepared to handle it while slowly wondering what more would come, what the future would bring. If anything? It didn't slow him down, it simply fueled him to be more on the rise.

"What is going to happen when we find him, there won't be anywhere else we can go before we fight them." Sui heard from Riku as he hummed to himself, unsure of the problems at hand. "We both know he can kill us all if we give him the chance. There won't be anything we can do to stop him if he gets nasty and that day is going to come sometime soon when all of this is decided." Riku stated which wasn't a lie.

Even if she wanted to deny it? There was no proof he was wrong, nothing to suggest his point didn't stand. They had so much more to do, so much they hadn't yet been completed nor could be completed, their mission was simple, but the means to complete it? not so, not so much at all. Their enemy was ruthless, determined to beat them no matter what he had to give up, they had so much worse any time of a horrid time defeating something that went against them like this and it wouldn't be pretty to deal with before now, there was a lot more to answer for at the end of the day.

"And what do you expect to happen when all of this is said and done? It isn't like we're going to be able to relax, we still need to be prepared for the worst. They won't break, they won't falter the way they want you to and they aren't going to fall apart the same way we want them to. Their as deadly as we are when it comes down to it." Sui added which wasn't a lie at all when it came down to it.

She wanted to stab him, want him to be so wrong about that he cried or something about it when all of it was over with and make a laugh out of it before all of this was over with… But she knew better, she knew he had a point, that she had a point when all of this was over with before now.

He had a lot more questions before he sighed. She wasn't done on this path, not yet, nor could she afford it or could she wish to be wrong about it all the time. she had somewhat of a reputation to keep and all this was doing was making her look meeker and unable to focus on what she wanted, she wanted to be beyond such small emotions, beyond whatever this was and what have nots.

She sighed, unsure if they needed before she questioned what to do next. She tilted her head at him as Riku hummed, tapping on his legs as she seemed to be at odds as much as he when it came to shove.

They had no real reason to be this close, yet they had been this way for a while, far more than what was thought of as close. She sighed and leaned further back to grab at her sword only for it to be gripped by his hand and dragged away from it slightly as he rolled his eyes, not once believing her logic when it came to it.

"Are you going to try and stab me here and now? if anything? You're making yourself look sillier than you want to be seen as when all of its done and dusted." Riku said while he rolled his eyes, unsure of what would be.

Sui sighed and relented. It wasn't as if he'd not have a fair point, any murdering or fighting they did now would look as if they hadn't a care in the world as if that would stop them. They'd still think of better reasons to go to battle, but it would probably be better off if nobody was around to bother them or ask what the hell was going on when all of this was said and done if nothing else? She would be thrown off if they bothered her for any time.

Sui was forced to back down, rolling her eyes. It still made her smile to see that he had at least some of her lessons go to her head, he knew something about her and it was nice… She felt at ease, able to relax around him and lower her guard if only by a little… It helped that she knew enough about him to get herself to relax. She knew enough about him to properly focus for once, to question if even slightly what would be going on and what to handle next.

He seemed to focus while he questioned before he was a lot more while he questioned before he seemed to question before he hummed.

He was prepared before now what he seemed to. He was too focused now on what to do before now. He had a lot more to question on what had been questioned and what to focus on while this seemed to be done and dusted.

If nothing else? He could tell her she had been a lot more to focus on what had been dusted before he questioned what he could do to help her.

He seemed to question what she'd do if she returned to full power. Nothing was stopping Sui from being furious about anything else nor did he want to properly combat anything… But he knew her better than anything else. He had a lot more transfixed on it. There's a lot more to be done anyway and if he didn't bring her down? Well, she'd work herself into a tizzy and end up terrifying herself with nightmares. She was as much a warrior as he was. She was as much as a warrior as he had been when it was all over with.

He yawned, too bored to do anything to stop her. If anything? He hadn't been focused on what to question before now. She gripped her sword again as he rolled his eyes, she had been bored.

She was always bored, and tired. He was a lot more focused on their goal than she seemed to have been. She cursed the fact that she had been falling apart, that her mind hadn't been properly transfixed on what had been done.

He was bored, unsure of what to do properly. It seemed to be focused entirely upon her mind. There were tactics inside of her that she could focus on stopping Argimenus with. The problem was that she wasn't in the status to properly confront him.

He still yawned at her as she kicked at him, making him raise an eyebrow at her. This had gotten so much odder, weirder before he tilted his head.

"Are you going to be alright, ok?" Sui questioned, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her, prepared for this.

"Nope, but it's better than watching you flip out without anything to keep you from freaking out. You're constantly over the moon with this sort of thing." Riku said while he crossed his arms.

"Are you unsure of what you're doing when he shows up," Riku stated? "I'm aware of what you're going to be doing. I don't want you to be acting up. Sometimes you can be so strict on the battlefield, you know. It isn't even a little healthy, a little tiring." Riku stated to which he raised an eyebrow.

He questioned what to tell her. He hummed to himself, leaning forward as he leaned on the wall. He was unsure of what the woman was doing.

Sui stayed silent before now, mulling over her options. If she or he struck at the others? Well? Their enemy was something odd. Something far less human, far more dangerous than they had been in life. If anything? He had a lot more resources, too prepared for now. He had a lot more problems on this move.

There was something that hadn't yet been questioned. There was a lot more to focus on. He sighed before he tilted his head, he was too unsure of what was going on.

Still? if they were hunted by the rest of the Hollows? Well, it was a lot more focused before now. Riku questioned before now. There was just too much on the line if nothing else. He tilted his head, prepared for the worst.

She watched as Riku frowned, too unsure of what to do next. There was just too much on his mind to bother her, there was too much to handle, to focus upon. Their enemy could crush them like a pile of cans, properly handling the Hollows. It was her job to focus on this. There was too much to do next before the next battle if nothing else.

Still? Too much on the line, he hadn't been able to focus upon now. Just too much to properly focus upon now.

He seemed to be at his wit's end, too unsure of whatever would be prepared for now. He was at peace with himself far more than she. If anything? She was just making her fight harder with this. He hadn't yet seemed to question before now.

He had yet to question her ideas and leadership. Sui knew she had far too much respect to allow someone else to question herself.

She tilted her head, looking at him before now. There was a lot more focus as of now. He was honestly unsure of their future and how they'd crush the enemy.

"You're scared, aren't you?" Riku stated which she noticed. "You're in a far worse state than before. There's too much on the line to get cold feet. You're the boss whom everyone needs for us to get back on track." Riku stated to which she frowned before now.

She hadn't gotten her thoughts together, fully focused upon this. He hadn't the ability while he seemed to be unsure of what to do next. Whatever she did do next? Their enemy would have a counter. There was going to be an uphill battle the entire way there. If anything? She had far more wonder for now. They had a lot more on their plate. This hadn't escalated beyond what they needed, nor had they gotten to the right space of mind to properly focus upon it. If anything? They had too much too soon and too fast. The only problem came from them trying to handle it all.

Welp. That, and the idea that there is just nothing else to focus upon. There was truly nothing special about it, just some knock-off gimmicks and do-dads. It needed to end soon.

He'd end it soon as now before he questioned now. He hadn't the ability to focus on this. He had a lot more on his plate. Not yet, not at the moment, but it would end soon. He sighed before he questioned whether he had something else? There was a lot more as of now.

Still? She couldn't handle it before he seemed to question before now. It hadn't been something else. There was more to this than he envisioned, more that hadn't yet seemed to be capable of… If anything? He was too far-fetched upon This to properly quit.

She didn't know what the move was to prepare for now. She knew how to handle the move before now. She still faltered at the last step. She questioned what to handle before as of now while it seemed to be on the final steps. There was a lot more to focus upon.

She slowly sat up and looked at the pond where they had clashed several times. This had been where it all started, this had been where they had been able to relax, where her mask was shattered and she was able to shed some small light across herself if nothing else. There was far too much on the line for this, far too much for her to falter, to break, to see the end of this… But it wasn't too late for everything else. It wasn't too late for her to change.

If anything, else? There was a lot more to handle before now. Before they focused on their strengths and weaknesses. The enemy wouldn't wait for anyone. If anything? She had been able to relax, and focus on their true enemy. She wouldn't recall it. She had prepared for the best; she had always tried to. There was just something drilling in the back.

She didn't know how Riku stayed so calm. He was either a crazy fool, a genius, or something that pushed her beyond what she seemed to be understanding. She hadn't yet found the limits of his strength as of this time and being. She didn't know what Riku could do, but she was also very eager to properly push herself and him. There was more to handle this, a lot more on their minds than what little they had.

Riku leaned against the wall as he sat up. There was a lot more to do when all of this was said and done. She tilted her head at him, questioning what to do next. He seemed bored, thrown off if nothing else. He spoke a moment later as he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. There was a lot more to do before now. She hadn't handled what to properly focus upon. There was too much more on her mind. He hadn't a proper clue about their talents before now if anything else went wrong, there was too much on their minds anyway.

They couldn't falter before their goal was over before they reached the final step. They got their bearings straight. There was oh so much, he hadn't the possible creatures, he hadn't yet seemed to be over with this. There was a lot more to focus on now.

She had more on her mind as she slowly walked into the water, water covering her hands and feet as she did so. There was a moment of small clarity for the time being. He hadn't seemed to focus upon now.

Riku sighed and grabbed his sword, unsure of what to do next. He looked at her, looking around as he tilted his head, prepared for anything. He didn't know if she wanted a fight and he didn't want to push her before long. If she wanted another brawl? He'd give it as good as he got, there was a lot more to focus on at the time being.

He sighed before he questioned what to do next. There was a lot more to do before the game came down.

"There was a lot more to handle when it comes to the end of the road, isn't there?" Sui stated as she frowned and looked around the room, preparing for the worst as her friend seemed to look down at the ground. There was a lot more to focus upon. He seemed as now as he questioned before now.

He sighed to himself, glancing around as well before he tilted his head before he hummed, he looked around and then decided what to handle next. She questioned her best options, there was a lot more on their plates before he sighed to himself, if anything? He hadn't the idea at the moment.

He rubbed at his temples, looking up at the roof before he seemed to focus. He leaned on the wall, looking at her, watching as she splashed her feet through the water. He sighed, unsure of what to question before now. He hadn't yet come down.

He rubbed at his temples, unsure of what to tell her. There was a lot more to tilt his head.

She tilted her head and gazed at Riku who had yet seemed to question what to do next. He seemed to focus upon her, looking at her and tapping on his wrists before he looked at her now. He seemed to be prepared for the worst if all of this came to it and he hadn't the proper idea if it all went to the dogs. There was so much left to write off, so much more than what little prancing games they had tried to preoccupy themselves with. He knew she'd float down the gutter sooner or later and he didn't want that at all.

Yet he could tell she was drifting towards that way one way or another. The first clue was simple. He just couldn't keep himself from properly focusing on it.

Still? At the end of the day? She was still his leader and he was still bound to do things the way either single way before now. He sighed to himself with a rub of his temples.

She hadn't yet questioned before now. There was a lot more to handle before now. There was a lot more to focus on now. There was a lot more on the line before now. She hadn't yet seemed to question the problems. She hadn't spoiled the moment as of now. There was a lot more on the line even now before now. a lot nastier if she had been fully honest at this moment.

He sighed and slowly started to walk forward, spinning his weapon through his fingers as he did so. He hadn't yet seemed as if there was more upon the line. There was a lot more to handle before now. He hadn't the idea before now. There was oh so much left to argue against, a lot more they would be talking about.

To him? This was just another talk, just yelling about what to focus on before he seemed to be over this. There was a lot more to their game and it showed if nothing else? It showed a lot more was brewing in his mind sooner or later. He hadn't yet before now. There was a lot more to focus on for now.

He hadn't the proper focus, the ideas, the drive to be the way he had before now. There was a lot more to do and a lot more on the breeze, a dawning before now. Something that hadn't yet. There was something else, something off about this that hadn't been where it was before. He sighed as he questioned what to do next. There were a lot more problems before now. he hadn't the idea on his mind and he knew it.

He pointed the blade at her, preparing for now as of the time being. There was a focus upon now for this to be over. He didn't know what to focus on or what to do next. There was a yawn as he did more and more to properly fix this. There was a LOT more on this fight anyway.

He yawned and rolled his eyes before still pointing his weapon at her and daring her to attack. Did she want a fight? Fine, he'd give her that, but he was still going to make her work for it at the end of the day if nothing else.

She yawned, looking at her before he questioned what to tell her if nothing else. He shrugged and slowly started to walk towards her, looking around as he did so and then back to her.

"We're going to fight or did you just want to scare me for 20 seconds?" Riku asked as he gestured towards her sword for a second.

He hadn't the faintest clue what she'd do, only one that she might be a problem for now and forever. It still made him laugh if but for a few seconds towards her as he strode forwards to her. There were only a few seconds as of now. He didn't exactly know what he was doing, but he did know that she was going all the way done, for now, he'd take the idea, for now, he needed to question what to do and how best to pull it off. she was dangerous, but he could name a damn massive list of other things that could have been done as of the second. He questioned what else she could have done, but he knew damn well better than to question here, knowing what she'd bring if he didn't handle it properly. This was all going to hell as of the second. This had been something chaotic. It didn't seem as if there was a lot to this, but it did seem as if there was more of what else may or may not the questioned before now.

He hummed, and he tilted his head, questioning what to handle for now. The mission was something odd. He hummed before he questioned what to handle at the second. He didn't know what to focus as of the time. He didn't know what to focus on before he questioned the time.

He didn't know what to do as he dodged her blade, followed by a kick which sent him to the water. He sighed, looking at her as he splashed from the water, cutting through her like chaff, he dodged such a strike which could have cut him in half, only to be followed by another kick as she surged forwards, knocking him to the water. He was always curious as of the second.

He was thrown into the water, making him curious as to how this was going to go. He didn't know what else may come, but he did know there was a hell of a lot of things to deal with and her antics made him sigh, too unsure of what to do next and too unsure of what was going to be next.

He sighed, flipping to his feet, looking up at her as she smirked and beckoned her forward. He smirked and clashed; his sword raised to knock hers aside. He could only ponder what her move for him was. There was something else to question for now. He didn't know what to handle.

There was a lot more to handle for now as of the time being, he had more upon his mind. This was fun, he didn't know what she'd do… But he did know how this was going to go, for now, it was a lot funnier, a lot more amusing.

He smirked as of now. He clashed once again, and there were a lot more problems as of now. He tossed her backward and retreated, daring her forwards. This was going to be tough now.

She followed after him, her sword cutting into the air. He didn't know what this could be rather than what he had for the time being. This was something else, he wasn't sure what it was, but he was able to relax. He was more unsure of what to do next. He didn't know what was going to happen next as he seemed to be able to relax for now.

He was a lot more on the mind. He didn't know what was able to focus on for the time being. This was something else before he came down to it. He was able to handle it for now. He was a lot more to focus upon now when it was all over… he was a lot more able to react as long as he put distance between them.

He wasn't going to be able to relax. He wasn't going to be able to focus more about now, He wasn't going to be able to relax more now.

He tossed himself back towards the pillar behind himself as she followed him, slashing the pillar towards him before she landed a kick towards him. Her foot landed on his arm before he looked at her.

He smirked at her. He rolled his eyes, unsure of what to do as he twisted her to the side flipping into the pillar as she followed, cutting at him as he leaped to the side.

She came after her, knocking his sword aside before she managed to knock the side into the stone. He was able to question before he sighed, amused at what her move was. he was tired, he was too focused more upon now for it.

Sui slammed her blade into the wall before she faced him, holding up her hands to attack him. She was able to relax, finding the rest of the peace inside of herself.

This would be fun, she'd relax, surrendering herself to the piece inside of herself. This was something before now. He hadn't focused on how to properly draw upon the skills he had for now.

Sui smirked as Riku raised his hands, looking to question as she was tired.

Author Notes
