"Engarde!" Kesenai yelled.
"No need!" Skinn ran at Kesenai, slamming his fists downwards, in a hammer-like motion. Kesenai quickly side-stepped and sliced a clean cut on Skinn's right arm. Skinn didn't even screech in pain and grabbed Kesenai in his left hand, slamming Kesenai onto the ground. Kesenai coughed blood and smirked, stabbing Skinn's right arm deeply. Skinn pulled his arm away and jumped back. Kesenai got up quickly and jumped into the air. Skinn looked up and saw Kesenai. Kesenai flew right over Skinn's head and landed behind him, stabbing his back right through where his heart should've been.
"And now it ends for--" Kesenai was cut off by being grabbed tightly by Skinn. "Ugh!" Kesenai grunted and coughed blood, watching as the wounds he had left on Skinn, healing.
"So you hate sweets, right?" Skinn asked, now angrier than before.
"Yeah… What're you going to do about it fat ass?" Kesenai growled.
"Oh don't worry… I'll put you out of your misery!" Skinn slammed Kesenai hard on the ground. Skinn jumped back and turned to his thunder form (Note: Or something like that, he reminds me of Greed -Laugh.-.) Kesenai got back up and coughed blood, watching Skinn transform. Skinn yelled "THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER!!"
Kesenai smirked "Looks like you're really pissed off, aren't you?"
"DIE!!" Skinn shot a bolt of energy at Kesenai. Kesenai quickly deflected it back at him using his sword. The bolt of energy was flying back at Skinn, but Skinn just opened his mouth and ate the bolt. Kesenai's eyes shot open, unsure of what was going on.
Kesenai sighed "You're really starting to be a pain in the ass…." Purple lightning and bits of energy leaked from Skinn's body. Kesenai watched, bored of what he was seeing. "You're being a pain in the ass. Do something interesting… Or I'll just kill you…." Kesenai looked at him.
"Oh don't worry, pathetic Exorcist. I'll finish you off now!" Skinn sent a larger bolt of purple thunder at Kesenai. Kesenai quickly jumped out of the way, stabbing his sword into the bolt, absorbing it into his sword. It was his specialty, deflecting and absorbing energy into his sword and using it against the opponents.
Kesenai began to notice that his hand was hurting slightly and thought "What's going on here?"
Skinn fired more lightning bolts at Kesenai's direction "LIGHTNING!!" he yelled. Kesenai jumped out of the way of all of them. Kesenai then quickly ran at Skinn and cut his waistline, seeing some of his armor fall off but then his hand began to burn a bit more. "Shit! It's hurting even more." he thought. Kesenai quickly jumped back, retreating from Skinn swing his arm harshly in his original direction. The wounds that Kesenai left on him were beginning to heal.
"Enough!!" Skinn yelled as chains came from Kesenai's body and a huge amount of blood came out of his body where the chains stabbed out from. "These chains are made from my energy, foolish Exorcist! How does it feel to be destroyed from the inside?!" he yelled. Kesenai noted that the energy filled chains were attached to Skinn's arm. Skinn made bursts of energy burn Kesenai from the inside 3 times, the energy burning more harsher the each time.
"I won't die… I HAVE A SIN THAT I MUST CLEAR UP!!" Kesenai yelled as he ran at Skinn. Skinn laughed and threw Kesenai said using the chains sending Kesenai flying away from Skinn. Skinn flung Kesenai so hard, that he flew all the way across the room, hitting a wall. Kesenai thought: "There's a way to beat this guy… His energy chains aren't unexplainable… They have electricity, as well as steel… So they're probably filled with tons of electrolyte as well as iron and traces of other metallic elements. I think I know what I can do against this bastard… But I can't yet…." Skinn blasted 6 more bolts of electricity at Kesenai, all of them hitting him and then he threw him across the room again. After the smoke had cleared, Kesenai had appeared to be dead. Skinn walked over to him, stopping the flow of energy running through the chains. Skinn grabbed him by the throat, feeling that his blood was still pumping through.
"How many times do I have to try and kill you to make sure you are dead?" Skinn growled.
"It's not the amount of times that you kill me… It's the fact that I refuse to die!" Kesenai yelled, the bandages of his right arm unwrapping themselves. Skinn smirked and threw him across the room again.
"Then I'll just keep throwing you 'til you're actually dead!" Skinn kept throwing him around the room, spinning him in circles. Kesenai's eyes became spirals, showing he was dizzy from all the spinning and flying around.
"Ugh, I feel so damn dizzy..." Kesenai said. Skinn finally then threw Kesenai down onto the ground. A normal human really would've been killed at least 5 times over with all the spinning, crashing into walls and landing a hard hit on the ground. "Is that all you got?" Kesenai smirked, his eyes back to normal.
"Not really." Skinn growled as he then began to rampantly throw Kesenai everywhere in the room. Kesenai then coughed up more and more blood every time he had crashed into a wall, the ceiling, and the floor.
Kesenai thought: "If this keeps up... Maybe I might die... Or not... We'll see..." Skinn laughed like a maniac that was set free to do as he pleases on the people, throwing Kesenai around.
"Round and round you go! Where you stop? Nobody will know!" Skinn laughed, throwing him around even harsher than before, more volts of electricity burning Kesenai big time from the insides.
Kesenai thought: "Maybe it was a good thing that more than half my internal organs aren't even there, I'll just feel slight damage to my nerve system but it'll be worthwhile when I see this fat ass perform his best attack." Skinn ended it by pulled Kesenai close, charing his free hand full of electricity, with the voltage that was high enough to even knock out the Earl himself for a good 10 minutes. As soon as Kesenai was in close range, Skinn punched him right where his ribs where, breaking 3 of them and sending him flying to the other side of the room. Skinn walked over to him.
"Why are you not dead yet? I think I killed you 40 times, and yet you are not dead." Skinn growled.
"Because you suck at being a Noah... Even a newbie for a Noah would've kicked you ass and that's a hell of a lot to say, coming from me..." Kesenai answered with a smirk.
"If that's the case then..." Skinn grabbed Kesenai tightly by the throat"...Then I'll wipe that smug smirk of yours right off your face!" Skinn yelled, squeezing Kesenai's throat tightly, charging high volts of electricity to make the attempt to really kill Kesenai. Any normal human would've died at the first few seconds of the high voltage, but Kesenai continued to live either way. Quickly, as a reaction, he kicked Skinn, pushing him back completely and then Kesenai stabbed Skinn right on the heart, making Skinn have no choice but to move back away from Kesenai. Skinn's newest wounds began to clear up slowly.
"Innocence… Activate!" Kesenai yelled. "Hand of the Alchemist!" he called out the name of his Innocence. His right arm changed to something that looked like Allen's Crown Clown, but Kesenai's Hand of the Alchemist was completely pale white, with black markings that looked like circles all over it that each had strange markings inside the circle's area. His right arm was more hardened than his regular flesh, hard enough to stand up to Millennium Earl's sword. One circle had glowed bright red. Skinn began charging at Kesenai. Quickly, Kesenai snapped his fingers, smirking.
"What're you doing?!" Skinn seemed more angrier than ever.
"You'll see…." Kesenai answered. The air pressure around Skinn had completely become dense. Skinn stopped, noting the air pressure around him had become dense, and an explosion occurred out of thin air, causing some of Skinn's armor to break off.
"You can't kill me that easily! NOAH ARE IMMORTAL!!" Skinn yelled.
"Immortal my ass! ALL HUMANS, EVEN NOAH HAVE TO DIE SOMETIME! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS IMMORTALITY!!" Kesenai yelled and touched the chains that binded himself to Skinn's arm. One circle on the Innocence arm had glowed brown as soon as he touched the chains. The chains glowed light blue, and then, the chains immediately disintegrated to metallic dust. Skinn sent out more lightning bolts and threw out more electrically powered chains at Kesenai. He sighed and grabbed the chains, absorbing the electricity as another circle glowed in yellow. Then the circle that glowed blue previously broke down the entire chains into metallic dust. Afterwards, he ran at Skinn, hoping that he could change the armor into dust as well, that way he could stab Skinn with his sword. Skinn sent more lightning bolts to go flying at Kesenai. Kesenai smirked while the same circle from before glowed red again, and snapped his fingers on his parasitic Innocence's arm, causing the lightning to explode as well. "You know, you're one of the only two people I've ever shown this Innocence to. You should be proud." Kesenai continued to smirk.
"SCREW YOU! I DON'T CARE!! I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!!" Skinn yelled. Kesenai smirked as he made a movement to slide directly under Skinn and quickly touched 5 areas of the armor, turning it to dust, then stabbing Skinn with his sword. Skinn yelled "THAT WON'T WORK ON ME!!" as the wounds began to heal. He charged more electrical bolts of high voltage as well as lightning at Kesenai. He dodged them only allowing a bolt to burn his chest. He then quickly stabbed the same spots from before, more deeper than before, then he sliced upward, causing the wound to open up even worse than before. "That still won't work!" Skinn yelled.
"I know that, but the opposite forces of Noah and Innocence's reactions infused inside you are what will work on you!" Kesenai replied, his right hand's index, and middle finger turned into long claws and he stabbed them deeply into Skinn's body using the wounds as an entrance point.
"What're you talking about?!" He asked. One of the many circles etched all over Kesenai's right arm glowed. Small bits of the claws on his right arm became infused with the Noah's body. Quickly, Kesenai retreated by jumping backward, making 5 back flips backwards.
Skinn's entire body began to burn on the inside, causing him to scream in pain "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!"
"I caused pieces of my Innocence charged arm to be infused with your body, and the reaction is now destroying you. Since Noah and Innocence cannot mix, it is forced to cause destruction to your body… Farewell…" Kesenai's hair blew with the gentle wind as Skinn's screams filled the room, echoing. Finally, the Noah had stopped screaming as his whole body started to break down into dust. "May your restless soul find peace… Bastard…" Kesenai whispered. Skinn's whole body then finished breaking down into dust. Kesenai walked to the pile of dust as another circle on Kesenai's arm had begun to glow. This glow was blue. He tapped the dust particles, the pieces of his Innocence arm recovering back to normal. All the circles on his right arm had then ceased glowing except for the red one, Kesenai planned on using it. Kesenai snapped the fingers of his right hand, causing the dust to begin burning into ashes, each ash particle spreading throughout the wind. Kesenai looked at the doorway leading to the next room. "Come on Road… The trip through the devil's lair has just begun…" Kesenai said as he began to wrap his arm up again with extra bandages that he had hidden in his right pocket.
"Okay…." Road was still amazed at the power that Kesenai's right arm contained. She thought that maybe he had more amounts of power to actually be able to defeat at least 2 Marshals. She continued to follow next to Kesenai.

Note: HA! Sorry that I kept you guys waiting just to know about Kesenai's power. But I hope you found it satisfying. Oh and I re-updated this chapter because before, I was too much in a rush due to my mom rushing me to go to sleep. So please review this one and tell me if this version seems better.
Disclaimer: I do not own D.Gray-Man. I must go cry in the corner again now. And this time maybe without the computer coming with me.
