Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Hornet and Phantom. Enjoy the 2800-word chapter. I do not own Bleach, Tite Kubo, and a few others do.

Sui looked over at Riku who kicked backward, it felt less like romance and more as they try and figure it out.

There was a lot more on her mind which caused her to think of what the next move was. She thought of Riku which made her frown, she knew him more and more.

Sui was too interested in him, he had been devoted to what needed to be done, he was snarky enough to keep up with her verbally, and he was nice enough to act as a friend… And she knew at the end of the day? He was a decent enough fighter for now.

She did not know what was going on before she managed to relax once more, she could not be less thrown off for now than before now.

"You are, ok?" Sui asked before she kicked his foot. "There is going to be a fight that we end up losing and might end up dying," Sui said as she smiled.

Riku was silent for a moment which made her think, he rubbed at his temples and then looked down to the ground.

"And what has been done to scare you for now?" Riku asked before he hummed.

"There are a lot of things," Sui stated with another kick. "There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with for now," Sui stated before she looked to the side.

"What? Like capturing the spider, you want to fight? The more it goes on? There is something else to be done with, for now, you need to keep growing and fight through such a thing." Riku stated.

Sui stayed silent as she realized what the next move was to be. She could not relax; she could not relent…. If she did? Someone was going to be a soldier, there was nothing else she could be dealing with for now.

Their enemy was crafty and had a fine number of soldiers and resources. She would not be unwilling to throw it for now.

She had something else on her mind, she would not be all of it would keep being thrown to the side. She being herself would tire and exhaust herself for now and she rubbed at her temples and then looked to the side and then leaned back in her seat.

Even though it all seemed to be too much for now, she would not be willing to deal with it all for the moment. She clicked her fingers against the wall and then sighed before snapping her fingers.

"I am thrown off. This sort of thing was something else to discuss, for now, we have a lot more on the rise." Sui stated before she sighed and rubbed at her temples.

She seemed to be able to relax. She could not have allowed it to have handled it all the way she did and she knew what their next move was to have done so for this moment and she cracked her fingers and then looked to the side.

Perhaps it was nice… Perhaps it was chaotic, something which had been too harsh to understand… For all of it seemed a manner which would end rightfully. It was odd enough to be dealt with for now.

Even then? She had been too unable to deal with it.

She had been too unable to have to deal with it for now… He had been unfamiliar with such a thing… He had been unable to have dealt with it for now as she clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth.

She kicked at him again, too interested in what was going on… She had not been unable to have dealt with it for now as she seemed to have been.

"You exhausted again and again?" Sui asked.

"Only of what would be best dealt with for now," Riku stated. "I want to fight and I want to be done with this, there is nothing that besides that I want to do at the end of the day… Nothing at all." Riku stated before he sighed for now.

He had been too interested in what came next. He knew what was coming next for now. She had known exactly what came next… Whatever came next? She would not be allowing it to come.

"You are a pain in the ass, you know?" Sui said as she kicked again.

"I am aware… And I adore being one." Riku stated.

"And what will you do when this is all over?" Sui stated before she paused and was too interested in what was going on.

She had been too interested in what was going down and she would not relent… Even then? She clicked her fingers and sighed, rubbing at her temples before she paused to herself.

"What else is going on?" Sui asked with amusement. "Because there is a lot we aren't doing, a LOT," Sui stated before she seemed to think of it for now.

Dealing with it for now? She had no idea what would come next. Nothing about it all seemed to be making a dent now. She knew this and she knew him to a degree.

A LOT had been going on, more than she could do. She had a LOT on her mind… Even then? She knew it to the end as she clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. She had been unwilling to deal with it, to see it all.

She was too interested in what was going on for now as she continued to be prepared for now… She knew him, she knew to the end of the day what was coming and she knew she could not allow it for now.

So much garbage and so much time wasted on it that she had not been able to properly see it coming at the end of the day when push came to shove.

He had been too silent as he started to think of whatever was going on… He had little to see with, a lot more to try and deal with for now.

There was a lot more on his mind… Something about it all seemed to be making him want to scream, there was a lot more to deal with for now.

He had been too interested in the next move, too unsure and uncertain of himself for now at the time being. This chaos was always going to push him in a new direction, him knowing entirely what was going on and was willing to gain it at any cost.

He had been too unwilling to do much for now… For he had been pushed beyond all words to the end of the day, such a logic changed up and down.

It had not been something he could deal with for now… Such logic was going to keep constraining him. He had not been willing to do anything to have to deal with to have to manage it at the end of the day… That would not change at all.

Yes, too much fun to be dealing with something like this. He could have dealt with it for now… He would need to be dealing with it for now, he clicked his fingers before he paused to try and relax… He had not been too interested.

He had been too annoying, too irritating even to her. She knew what he would keep growing for now at the end of the day.

She knew him to the end of the day and she would not be denied as she kicked her foot against his once more. She had been too thrown off for now and she was going to be amused either way.

She had been too familiar with such a degree a moment like this was going to be bringing it on for now, she paused to grow more as she seemed to be dealing with it.

She had been familiar with what he could have dealt with for now. Riku vexed her in ways she could have been dealing with it for now and for good reason as she paused to try and deal with it.

She had been pushed off too interested in as she had been before she relaxed.

All of it seemed to be making it harder and harder to deal with for now as she clicked her fingers. She had been too unable to fix it for now.

She had been too interested in what she could have been too cocky to deal with for now as she paused to keep growing and then and there would it be dealt with for now.

Such chaos only served to be causing more and more chaos within it all now.

"You have no idea what you are doing, do you? No idea at all? Because if you did? I would believe you would have far more control than you claim. I do not think you do, to be honest for a few reasons." Riku stated.

It was not a lie, a boast, or any attempt to jab at her pride. She knew that each little thing was just going to make it far harder to deal with it until then.

He sighed, each little detail was harder to deal with and they blended in a fine mesh that could not have been further on point.

She was going to be making it far worse and far harder to have fixed lest they all come crashing down to the ground in waves and droves before it came down to it as she paused to try and deal with it.

She had not been familiar with it at the end of the day, she had not been familiar with it as she came down to it.

She had been familiar with it all until she came down to another goal. She had been unable to deal with it now, knowing what was going on… She had not been familiar with it until it came down to it and that would not change now or ever.

Perhaps at the end of the day? She had no real clue what was going on, no real clue what the next move was going to have been, any single little nudge would have been more than she could have handled.

Yes, it was clear that whatever was going next? There was more to their goals than now and it was bothering him to no end which would not have been helping more now.

There was a lot more to this, knowing what was going down the road, not helping either way.

All of it was too interesting for now at the end of this day and all days, it could not be understated just how annoying it would have been if anything had been done to have ruined it, there was nothing left to have done which would not be done.

Not once did he wish to think as he could be dealt with for now as he could and would seem to be as of now as he paused once again.

To be entirely fair now? He would not let it come crashing down to the ground, not in the manner that could not be dealt with for now.

To be entirely fair? She had zero real ideas for now about what was going on, zero where she could try to understand it… To be fair? It was not something that she normally dealt with, she normally had zero real reason to let it end, zero now.

She had every reason to not know, to wish to know to some degree, and yet? She was too involved in the next little thing, knowing what it would bring and why she would be uninvolved in what was coming to end it for now, she had little to no idea what would become of it for now.

She would tire, she would grow to let it end for now, such things were impossible to figure out, a lot harder to figure out now. She knew what was going on at the very end of the day and what to expend.

To be fair? She also knew what would happen if she died, she had no regrets, no desire to regret anything now.

She had been tired, and interested only to let it die out sooner or later for now as she later seemed to be letting happen, such was life and life was always going to be odd like that either way, he had to let it all end either way.

He had been bored to the day, something that he could have dealt with it for now.

He was not going to be able to think of it now that it would end either way to the end of the day, so much had been going on either damn way and this was the only way to end it either way.

That and so much else inspired him to be better than this now for now.

He had been able to try and figure out what needed to be dealt what was growing at the end of the day. He had been able to think of what was growing for now as he clicked his fingers against his mind.

The entire aspect of it was something else, he had been too unable to figure out.

It was growing on him before he sighed to look downwards at the ground. Each part of his brain felt like it was stabbed thirty times with a pen.

Sui was interested in his ability, there was a lot more to this, something which needed to be dealt with it.

This chaos was something that she needed to deal with sooner or later, sooner or later? She had to relax, knowing that it mattered eventually.

There was something more when it came to chaos like this. All sort of madness was going on, something he could not deal with for now.

She sighed, knowing he could not afford to step away when it was all said and done. Such things were beyond even them, that much was obvious and it should not have had to be like that as nothing was getting said or done.

All of it meant little to nothing to her, not that she would have cared regardless. She was a warrior, whatever she felt. Whatever feelings did she hold for these soldiers? It was nothing, nothing compared to if they failed… If they could and would fight… And for her? Fighting was to be the best thing done which needed to be dealt with at the end of the day.

All of it would be over soon enough, all of it would hold up well enough of it at the end of the day when it was all said and done, something that she could not understand.

She was too interested in what was growing for now as she paused to let it sink in sooner or later once again, there were a lot of things that needed to be done.

Riku hummed but looked at her with interest, knowing that it would come sooner or later at the end of the day. This sort of chaos was all too easily dealt with for now as it came crashing down to the ground, the chaos which was equaled only by her own need to win at this sort of odd game.

It was too much for now, an idea which needed to be dealt with for now as he paused, to let it come crashing down to the end of it… There were a lot of things that he had to deal with it for now.

There was a lot more to try and figure out. There were a lot of things that needed to be done.

The logic that was all said and done, the logic which needed to be addressed, to be cut through like a piece of silk. He sighed and then looked upwards and into the sky.

To be fair? That part of life escaped her, it was hard enough to balance life upon the fingertips she had before she looked to the side.

What else would come next at the end of it, there were a lot of things that drove her further along than before, further than she could admit she had been pushed for now and that alone was going to be enough to drive one insane.

Which seemed to be exactly what had come and gone either way. It was harder and harder to think through for now and it was harder to try and figure out for now.

She sighed, almost willing to collapse in agony as she knew where it would lead. There was a pause… A very hard time with it here as it meant giving things up
