Gachiakuta presents such a unique idea for a soulmate AU and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use it yet
Who needs red strings of fate or bursts of colour or unique birthmarks when the very universe that gachiakuta is set in allows for manifestations of the soul? After all, what is a vital instrument of not a piece of life, a part of the soul…
Soulmates aren’t so easily defined by givers, not with words or even with physical manifestations. Instead, it’s a feeling that comes from deep within, a magnetic pull that isn’t often so easily recognized
Different than simple attraction though, very different. When two vital instruments clash and the users feel the very essence of their beings pulled even closer still. Tugging at heartstrings in a scarily literal sense of the word
Some say that ‘my vital instrument chose you’, but that would be very shallow compared to the actual truth. A vital instrument is just a part of the soul that screams:
‘I found you’

Cool post? Great. TIME TO MAKE THIS ABOUT JANKA
The first time they fight, neither of them realize anything at all
At first, they barely get time to fight before Zanka gets knocked out. Once Zanka and Rudo are fighting a poisoned Jabber, Zanka is far too focused on his target. He attributes the weird feeling to being teleported by Gris’ talisman, simple enough. Jabber might have noticed something, but of course he wasn’t very conscious…
Their second fight though? That’s when things get interesting. It’s electric, and both of them are painfully aware of it
Jabber knows Zanka isn’t the strongest he’s fought, nowhere near Zodyl, yet he can’t help his glee and he brings out Mankiras true form. Of course his opponent has earned it, but more than that…
It feels right.
And Zanka, well
Zanka’s studied hand to hand combat, and trained with a multitude of weapons, but he’s never felt something so new. His desire to continue fighting is almost as strong as his desire to win, as if something greater than him is beckoning him to stay for just a little longer
This can end in a multitude of ways and a thousand years of yearning if you so wish, but Mankira and Lovely Assistaff call out to each other forever from that point on, a low hum beneath the background noise that connects Jabber and Zanka from miles away
