thanks so much! :D i'm still somewhat new to the fandom, so hearing that i'm doing it justice--especially from another author--really means a lot. i had noticed that there was a very small number of fics that involved any asskicking, despite how much asskicking goes down in the manga, and so i figured 'what the hey?' and just ran with it. i'm really glad it came out well. thanks for reading~ ♥
