A/N: A short little insight of what I think could have gone through Azumi's mind after the end of the second movie.
Summary
She couldn't believe that she was the last one.
It was hard to believe that she should actually be the last one of them. There had been eleven of them, including their master and six when they started their journey. It still pained her to know that she had killed her best friend to get further, but that was the way it worked. You had to prove yourself worthy of the task you were about to accomplish. And that meant you had to be able to kill everyone. Even your friends.
But now, after everything was over and done she was alone. None of the others had made it through the war. Not even Ginkaku, who had reminded her so much of Nachi it had driven her insane. Every time she had looked at the brown haired man, she had seen her best friend standing right in front of her. Smiling and teasing, as he always did. But she knew he was dead. The dark haired woman's hands were stained with his blood after all. Even though Azumi fought hard to make herself believe she didn't mind, she knew it was a lie. Just the training and a whole lot of self-discipline had gotten her this far. But for what?
She had no-one to turn to, no place to go back to either. She was alone and she knew it.
So maybe, Azumi decided, it was time to follow her friends.
