Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon #4

In a daring ruse to lure an octopus demon, Setsuna must disguise herself as a traveling princess while under the protection of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and her companions. Meanwhile, a flashback reveals young Toyotomi journeying with Inuyasha and Miroku as they confront a demon threatening travelers, a moment that echoes the courage shaping her present mission.

In the past, Inuyasha battles a rock demon with unexpected tenacity, pushing him to his limits. In the present, as Setsuna and the others confront the octopus demon, Zero makes a desperate move—seeking to seize control of the kidnapped Princess Aiya through a hidden insect surrogate.

In "The Past," the demon princesses Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha, still reeling from their narrow escape from Zero’s trap with Rion’s help, uncover a long-buried rift between the legendary Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru—echoes of a conflict that now threatens to consume them. As Miyoga reveals the truth, the past begins to unravel in ways that challenge their understanding of loyalty, legacy, and the line between honor and vengeance.
