Shedding A Sinful Shell [Kokuto, Natasha, Lilith]

He had been researching potential methods for a while, and the day had finally come. Thankfully, he hadn't been alone in his search, with Natasha, Lilith, and to a lesser extent, Johann, offering information and eventually, a solution.

Lilith, a Shinigami that had spent a significant amount of time among Quincy and knew quite a lot, was both overseeing the process and acting as someone for Kokuto to tire himself out. From what Lilith, Johann, and Natasha had said, they were taking from the process that some Quincy used to regain their powers: exhaustion, followed by a precise shot from an arrow from a Spirit Weapon.

Though, rather than regaining powers, this was needing to be more precise to cleanse his soul of impurities. With Natasha's Spirit Weapon being a gun, and thereby compressing the typical size of an arrow, she was well-suited for the job, and willing to help out.

Orange, silver, and blue flames crackled idly as Kokuto continued to push forward. He could hear his pulse pounding in his ears, his breathing was heavier, though any sweat that would have formed was quickly evaporated from the heat of his body. His skin had gradually begun turning red, the roots of his hair had shifted from black to white, and steam poured from his body.

So, Kokuto was working his way through the first part of the solution: exhausting himself. He continued to charge at Lilith, holding nothing back as he hurled blue and silver flames alongside punches, knees, and kicks. It felt like his body was boiling from the inside, but, it didn't matter. He was used to this, and, right now, if it meant that he would have a chance of ridding himself of this, he'd take it.
