Looking for another old anime

[Hyacinth]

Just as my last "Looking for anime" thread, I don't know the name nor any real helpful information. Just the plot as best as I can remember. And considering it was 8 years ago when i watched this, I think I did pretty well.

Anywho, it's a short one, 3 episode (or so) OAV. Or OVA, not sure of the difference and I know i should. Wandering samurai comes into a village, slays some demon and rescues a girl with a scar on her cheek. This fellow is searching for an old friend of his whom he wants to kill. He kinda falls in love with the girl but she, thinking herself ugly and a burden and possibly manipulated by the friend this man is seeking, kills herself. Drowning if I recall.

So the fellow moves on, finds another girl who looks strikingly like the previous one except this one knows how to fight (ninja perhaps?) and has no scar. Then it gets fuzzy... some demon horse from the sea gets pissy, hits the girl with hoof on the cheek, creates a scar like the first girl's, causes guy to fall in love with her, protagonist kills friend. Uh... It ends with the two walking down some road and finding a mother who died giving birth on the roadside. Baby is still alive; for some odd reason that I can't remember why, the baby's the man's friend reincarnated. I think they take him with them but I cannot be sure.

So yeah, if anyone has information on what this might be, please let me know. Most appreciated.
