History
When Kirinmaru visits Sesshōmaru's mother, he was curious about the windmill in the sky near her palace. She has mentioned that she hasn't seen Akuru in such a long time, including that of Akuru's Pinwheel.

After Zero have been struck by Setsuna's dormant Blood Blade, he observed from his ship that the Windmill of Time had finally began to turn if gradually.

At Mount Musubi, Kirinmaru's daughter Rion tells the Half-Demon Princesses Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that he's after Akuru and their pinwheel to move the Windmill of Time that will cause the world to fall into the "Degenerate Age", the very thing the Tree of Ages warned them about.
