You blew Akane's anger way out of what it was in the manga and for that

Be that as it may, the universe depicted in the manga _is_ different from

<snip lotsa text. Hope you remeber what you have written.>

The rules are different. And when the rules are different, the question of
IC/OOC goes out the window.

I know that. I just wanted to say, that her anger went off scale compared
to the manga. Zen had a good reason. But it still went. Not that it was
a bad thing, since that fic was great.

you should be made Kodachi's slave for the rest of your days, but
since that fic was as good as it was, I think I'll just wait for
the next revengefics. She won't be happy, you know. I think
She'll be really, really, really angry, but that's not my problem.
I know that anger was build up gradually, but I still think it was
out of porportion. (I know, I'm in many ways like Ryouga was in this fic.
I've went through hell and came back stronger.)

Jussi, whether or not Zen gets written into a revengefic about this is up
to Zen and Zen alone. Writing a revengefic about another person without
his/her permission is frowned upon.

I know. It was a joke. But I think that if the revengefics ever come back
(may gods help us they wont. Tarou will certainly kill me) Akane should
pay Zen a visit. 

Sorry that I forgot the smiley.

I thought the story was excellent. It was realistic, engaging, and
chilling. I wasn't happy at the end, but it wasn't a comedy. If I was
laughing, I'd be a sadistic MF. The fact that you're ranting and raising
four kinds of hell means that the Zenmeister has done his job as a writer.

Yes, it was a good story, and I said that.
