Since Seto seems to be the power behind the throne in Jurain politics, this 
would make a lot of sense.  As things currently stand, if Tsunami needed 
something done, she would approach Seto, who would then suggest it to Azusa.  
Going straight to Azusa would ignore the political realities of the 
situation, and probably cause problems when Seto started to get annoyed about 
being cut out of the loop.
 
Of course, I think it would have also made sense for Tsunami to inform Azusa 
and Misaki about what was going on with Sasami.  After all, they are Sasami's 
parents, and it wouldn't be write to do something like this without letting 
her parents know.  Even if Tsunami hadn't told anyone else, I'm sure that the 
two of them would have told both Seto and Funaho.
