Koga faces off with Ginkotsu and Renkotsu. Koga makes a quick swipe at Renktotsu shredding his shoulder and armor, and then just as quickly shoves a piece of armor into Ginkotsu's gun barrel. The cannon backfires killing Ginkotsu, but Koga is caught in the blast as well. Elsewhere Jakotsu and Suikotsu have managed to catch up to Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin to carry out their orders. Sesshomaru seems to have no troble smelling out Jakotsu's ambush and proves that he is the superior swordsman. Rin and Jaken move away to give Sesshomaru room to fight, but encounter Suikotsu waiting for them in the middle of a rope bridge stretched across a river. Inuyasha and Kagome pick up the scent of Koga's blood and rush to the scene to find Ginta and Hakkaku very upset.

Chapter
261: 骨の村
Suikotsu no mura
(Suikotsu's Village)
Suikotsu leads Rin back to his village where all the other children are. In the distance Kikyo can sense his Shikon fragment approaching the village. Jakotsu figured Suikotsu's personality probably shifted back and that he would return to the village, so he is awaiting him there. The villagers approach Suikotsu holding torches and ask him to leave because of the threat he poses to them. Suddenly Suikotsu slices one of their throats but he still appears the same as when he is his doctor persona. Jakotsu comes out of hiding and Suikotsu tells him he thinks he is cured of his doctor personality. Rin and the children try to run away, but one of Naraku's wasps tells Jakotsu that Sesshomaru is on his way. They head farther in towards Mount Hakurei's barrier forcing Sesshomaru to weaken as he comes in too close. Jakotsu slashes at him, and this time he manages to slice Sesshomaru's hand.

Kikyo makes her way back to the village to find the scared children and slaughtered villagers. She realized that Suikotsu is no longer as affected by the barrier.

He says that the remnants of his doctor persona were scared away when he was hit and now he can kill Rin without any hesitation. Suddenly an arrow flies through Suikotsu's throat as Kikyo makes her way down to be at his side. He reverts to his doctor persona as she approaches.

Suikotsu no kioku
(Suikotsu's Memory)
