Summary The Houjou become aware of Inuyasha
The spy stood before the Houjo spymaster. The spymaster motioned his man to come forward and give his report
"So what do you have to report about this Akitoki Houjou?"
The spy began a tale about a seemingly obscure person The tale started with two relics which this family supposedly had. This man Akitoki Houjou had been sent to dispose of a robe rumored to belong to Kaguya and a naginata which had belonged to a youkai
Both items were considered to be myth and legend Not the subject that a spymaster should inquire about. The family of this Akitoki was unremarkable Nothing said that threat to the spymaster. Besides they were not using these items They destroyed them
"So if that is all that you have ,why have you asked to give a report in person ? This is waste of my time"
"Sire in following this fool , I discovered a threat to your family. The one who helped him destroy the cloak ard the naginata was a hanyou by the name of Inuyasha"
The spymaster stirred This conversation was drifting into the realm of fantasy. Moon goddesses did not exist. Youkai who wielded naginata that could destroy Japan did not exist. Inuyoukai hanyou did not exist
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because said hanyou is in Odawara and made contact with Akitoki hoping to gain a meeting with the daiymo"
"Why would a hanyou want to see the daiymo?'
"Because we have been raiding villages where he lives. Apparently he thought that his connection to the Houjou clan would stop the raids"
What is his connection to the Houjou clan?"
"His mother who was a Shimazu princess had a Houjou mother"
"Wait are you talking about Houjou of Kamakura They are not even connected to us "
"Akitoki Houjou made him aware that he is not part of our clan He has left Odawara"
"He has a sword that is capable of bringing down a kami, a daiyoukai and taken down several castles"
"The spymaster was disturbed "You are just telling me now Follow this man Find out his village and follow him wherever he goes If he appears to be a danger to us,liquidate him Just make sure it cannot be traced back to us?
