Akaza had a lot of soulmates for some reason, and even when he became a demon, that didn't change.
The marks were still there
Everyone had at least two soulmates, and when they die, you will feel their death on your skin, and you will carry the mark that tells you that your soulmate has died. The paternal mark he had was a black one on his shoulder that made Akaza want to cry just by looking at it, while another romantic one had been left with a scab that would never heal that made him wince in emotional pain the few times he saw himself in a mirror.
Akaza had had and lost two of his soulmates as a human, and he had probably failed to protect them.
He felt sad to see those marks erased, meanwhile, the marks that indicated that he would end up as a father figure someday were still white, as were two other romantic marks that he had and some marks that marked friendship and brotherhood. He could only hope to be strong enough to protect his soulmates when they were born.
Romantic markings appeared on thighs, a place usually reserved for lovers, and sometimes necks. The place they appeared could indicate the gender of their soulmate, the marks on the neck usually had the soulmate as a woman and on the thighs as a man. Akaza had a poorly healed mark on her neck and two others that were not born on her thighs.
On his neck, the mark of a dead soulmate was a snowflake, and Akaza was almost certain it was pink before his other half died, and on his left thigh was a mark of fire, still white because he hadn't been born. , as well as on the left thigh, where the mark of a blue sword with water drawings was also white
Friendship soulmates tend to appear on the back, if it was too far up it would probably be a woman, and if it was further down a man
Akaza had a mark of rainbow eyes on his back, which he soon unfortunately found the owner of, with his soulmate friend having his mark, which was a blue snowflake surrounded by pink and orange sparkles.
His known soulmate of friendship was Douma, who ended up seeing his mark because it was just below where his vest covered his face.
He had other soulmate friends among the oni, as he eventually discovered he had with Kokushibo when challenging him to a blood duel, in which the six-eyed demon discovered the mark of a moon with six scattered eyes pierced by a sword and immediately interrupted. the duel to check if they were both soulmates, and on Kokushibo's back, at the bottom was that Akaza snowflake
Akaza had other soulmates not yet discovered, having two soulmates with butterflies as a mark, one more elegant and the other simpler due to the details they had, which Akaza didn't know the color of because they were born yet, then there was the mark of four hearts forming a kind of shamrock, on the upper part of his back he already had three soulmates. In the lower part, in addition to the marks of Douma and Kokushibo, there was the mark of gusts of wind, there was also a snake that bit its own tail and the mark of a sword surrounded by jewels and gold.
There were the marks of brotherhood, usually present on the arms, if it were on the lower part, your soulmate would be a man, and if it was on the upper part, a woman.
Akaza had soon found three of the owners of his marks among the twelve kizuki, with one being the lower moon 5, Rui, who had shown nothing but happiness in knowing that and wanted to push him to be part of that family of strange spiders, and soon the upper moons six, Daki and Gyutaro, with Daki being the first to open the bond to push emotions into him, and with Gyutaro seeming conflicted (of course Douma tried to open the bond with him too but the bastard couldn't even feel emotions and Akaza soon closed his part of the bond.
A bond between all soulmates was one of sending emotions, and sometimes even thoughts if you and your soulmate are deeply connected. The bond could also share location if either half is in danger, as you feel the panic that your soulmate involuntarily sends into the bond and the strange sensation of knowing where the soulmate might be, even if you have never been there or not even knowing the existence of the place, you just know)
Of course there was more to his brotherhood marks, he had a strange symbol of stones that looked like weeping (don't question it), the strange mark of a hand with a mouth and the mark of thunder that Akaza suspected would be black.
Paternity marks had a strange functioning, with the parents in the bond being able to feel their child's pain, but the opposite did not happen, and with the marks located on the fathers generally being on the wrist, while the children would have the father's mark on the shoulder, You can also know the gender of the soulmate in this bond, if your child was a girl, the mark would be on the wrist left, and on the right would be the boy's, and it's the same thing for the son to know if he has an extra mother or father, on the right is a father, and on the left a mother
And Akaza, on his left wrist, had another butterfly mark, making him wonder if these people were connected, he had the strange mark of a burning bamboo and the mark of what looked like a broken katana with butterflies coming out of the middle.
It even seemed like a kind of cult with so many butterflies on your body
And on his right wrist, Akaza couldn't believe it, the head of a cross-eyed boar looking each way, another mark of thunder, there was the mark of a small flame on his wrist and a mark of a cloud and what he thinks is a fog, and, Akaza saw and didn't believe it, the mark of a fucking weapon, as well as that of a sword on fire
Akaza really feared what the hell his soulmates would be
