[Falling to the ground, Kadaj's communicator is accidentally turned on video. If one looks to the corner, they will see that he's in the public library. But not much can be seen other than that, seeing as Kadaj's back is to the screen. As his leg is grabbed, a voice that isn't his can be heard, even though the one in question isn't seen.

KADAJ!!

[Unaware of what just happened, Minato was positive by the time he got to the library the fight would be over. Whoever or whatever was involved most likely fled or one of the two would be a big pile of broken bones and bruises while the other laughed, he thought. Kadaj was good at getting into these situations. This time, though, he had a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach, knowing what he would have to do. Kadaj attempted to set fire to the library and assaulted someone. He would have to make good on his promises to keep work and personal life separate and arrest the remnant. All the talks he'd had with him, he figured he'd understand but

[Shinjiro darted through the city at a ground eating pace. By the time he stopped in front of the library, his lungs were screaming at him. He had to pause and suck in a breath before he could go on. Pieces of conversations floated through his mind, taunting him. What he'd said to Rinoa.]

'He'll be fine.' 'It's all talk, nothing's actually happened...'

[And now, one sick twist of a weapon made lies of all that. Made them ominous. A jinx, even. He felt dizzy and sick-- but had no time to dwell on any of that. After one more impatient breath, he headed inside the library. Steeled himself for the sight that awaited him. But the first person he locked eyes on wasn't one he expected

[At the sound of the voice Minato swung around and cut his blade through the air with a lethal downward slash, but way too far away from Shinji to do much else but send a gust of wind from the force. Minato's expression was twisted- crooked and trembling smile, sweating and pale. But his eyes... There's nothing familiar about them. Crazed almost. He stared through the other young man as if the truth stood behind him, horrible and mocking, and if he could only cut it in two none of this would ever have happened. The katana trembled in his burning grip and his dry lips parted, sticking to one another as they peeled apart to make way for his unstable words.]

...N-no... You go outside... YOU get the fuck out...

[Eerily calm as he always was, those words held an underlying bite. What right did he have? What right did anyone have- coming in here and telling him to leave his lover there on the floor for the wolves to-- The wolf. The blue-haired boy swung around without a bit of warning and slashed, ending the wolf that crept up behind him

[prodigal_axe]

... Sorry. Not gonna happen.

[The sword flashed in Minato's hand and sent a vicious blast of wind through the air, ruffling Shinjiro's hair and coat-- but not his expression. He didn't even wince. The traces of pain bled off his face. He'd deal with all that later. Had to put them away for now if Minato was going to fall apart like this
