Authors Note: This is a sequel to my story Lost Relation set after The Final Act and before Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon. It may be made even more non-canon than it already is by the release of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Season 2 but oh well, this is my take on the story and I stick by it. Also, I don't own Inuyasha or any of its yadda yadda yadda legal bs who cares. Enjoy!
A single raindrop fell on Azumas' face as he stared down his foe. He had battled this demon to a near stalemate but only he had the strength to continue. The demon tried to send a wave of dark energy at him but Azuma simply deflected it with his faithful blade Kozawa and unleashed 6 black and purple waves of energy back at it. "Yomi Wave!" Azuma yelled as the waves raced from his blade toward the demon. As they made contact he could see the demon beginning to disintegrate into nothing.
The rain began falling steadily as the demon spoke out to Azuma with its dying breath. "Your lineage will die... and that of your kin..." It said in a raspy voice as its body disappeared. "Your time is at an end... The Inu Yōkai will fall..." It said. "Even at death's doorstep you persist in insulting me," Azuma said as he readied Kozawa. "I shall truly enjoy sending you to hell, now die," He said as he sent a solid wave of energy at the demon. The wave crashed into it, destroying the rest of the demon's body in a flash of light.
Azuma sheathed his sword and looked at the dust that was once this foul demon as it blew into the breeze. He turned and began walking away but stopped and turned back as he heard a low demonic laugh behind him. "Thank you Inu Yōkai, you have done me quite the service," The voice said as the dust began forming the demon's face in the air. "How are you still in the world of the living?" Azuma asked with slight anger in his voice. "Hmm, you have freed me to roam the spirit world at my will, Inu Yōkai. Look and see The Tatarimokk coming hither," The voice said. Azuma turned and saw to his surprise The Tatarimokk, The Soul Piper.
"My soul now goes to The Spirit World, where my plan shall be complete," It said as the piper gathered its soul and began returning to the spirit world. "You foul demonic filth, what are you planning!" Azuma yelled watching the piper depart. "I told you, you filthy Inu Yōkai, your time is over," The voice said. Azuma attempted to jump and attack the piper with his claws but they simply phased through him as he vanished. "Your lineage will die you filthy Yōkai, and that of your kin," It said disappearing from the world of the living.
Azuma watched the sky for a moment as he began contemplating what the demon had said. "That of my kin? What did it mean by that?" He thought as he watched the sky. He thought more about it when suddenly, a shooting start beamed across the sky. In an instant, Azuma felt a sense of worry as he now understood what the demon meant. "Akiko," Azuma said firmly as a beautiful human quietly moved behind him. "Yes, M'lord?" Akiko said kindly as she stopped 4 feet from him. "It would seem that filth has a grudge against my family, I fear he will attack us in ways we can not see," He said looking back at her. "Be a dear and keep an eye on the islands for a while, I believe it would be best if I made another venture to the mainland," He said as he turned back and began walking toward the sea. "Of course, M'lord," She said bowing slightly.
Azuma walked to the edge of the water and put his hand in it, swirling it around slightly. A few seconds later, a dragon emerged from the shore and bowed respectfully at Azuma. Azuma bowed back and jumped on the dragon's back with his legs around either side. The dragon twisted its body and began flying towards the mainland at an incredible speed as Azuma held on.
