(With the tricky footing on this rooftop, I'll never be able to keep up with her movements. Besides, this is no time for me to be fighting a quiet little battle either.)
Changing locations. Follow me!

Is your only plan to run away?
Shucks! You dodged that one nicely.
Mh.
(I don't understand this. Our speed should be equal, and yet...)
Are you wondering why you can't keep up with me?
I know you've never fought with an adversary that's this much smaller than you.
When two combatants are equal in speed, the one who is smaller, in this case me, always has the advantage. That's just common sense.
............
Your biased perception is clouding your judgment, just as in your relationship with Yoruichi.
You resent her when she's not around, but will do anything for her when she is. There is no middle ground with you.
What would you know about Lady Yoruichi?!
I know everything!
After all, I was your Zanpakuto, remember? Yoruichi's the one holding you back. She's the real problem here.
............
Oh no, I've upset you.
3. After the battle
7 linesYou can't quite get me, can you?
Hahahahaha!
You're not really thinking you can keep up with my moves, are you? Now, where should I make the final strike?
Right...there! Nice knowing you!
How...?
I concentrated the energy of Shunko around the Homonka mark you aimed for. A sword cannot penetrate that.
I'm sorry, but I do not rely solely on my Zanpakuto. That is the way in which I was trained to be at this level.
