Chapter 261

Suikotsu's Village is the 261st chapter of InuYasha manga.

Synopsis

 * Suikotsu takes Rin to his village, telling her there are other orphans like her there.
 * When Suikotsu returns, the villagers ask him to leave the village at once, saying he's the reason the Band of Seven attacked the village in the first place. Suikotsu use his claws and kills the villagers, calling them ungrateful after everything "The Good Doctor" did for them.
 * Rin, seeing that Suikotsu is not the kind-hearted doctor she thought but is actually the man who attacked her on the bridge, tries to flee. Jakotsu catches her, planning on using her as bait to lure Sesshōmaru.
 * Jakotsu asks Suikotsu which of the two personalities he is, and Suikotsu answers that he is himself. He says he used to never know when he might change personalities, but now things feel more stable. He also says that now he won't turn into the Good Doctor whenever he gets too close to the barrier of Mount Hakurei. Suikotsu remembers that earlier the Good Doctor interfered with his fight when the orphans showed up, so he decides to kill them to prevent any future problems. He hesitates to kill them though, the Good Doctor still unconsciously in his mind, preventing him from harming the children.
 * Sesshōmaru heads toward Mount Hakurei to save Rin. Jaken tells him its obviously a trap; They're luring him toward the barrier, knowing it will weaken him and he'll be easier to kill. Sesshōmaru goes anyway.
 * Suikotsu and Jakotsu are trekking up the mountain, wondering if Sesshōmaru will even make it up very far because of the purifying aura. They find him waiting ahead of them, having gotten there before they did. Jakotsu wonders if Sesshōmaru is affected at all by the barrier, and starts to attack him. Sesshōmaru gets a cut on his wrist, his skills and senses being dulled by the holy barrier of the mountain. Jakotsu grins, knowing that the barrier is affecting him.
