Chapter 260

Faces is the 260th chapter of InuYasha manga.

Synopsis

 * Inuyasha and Kagome help Kōga out of the rubble after his battle with Ginkotsu.
 * Renkotsu lies injured after his fight with Kōga. He was able to get a hold of Ginkotsu's jewel shard during the explosion, but knows that if he chooses to use it, Bankotsu will just take it from him. He decides to use the shard anyway, saying that Bankotsu will just have to live without this one. Renkotsu knows Kōga is also badly injured from their previous battle, and thinks now is the perfect opportunity to steal the shards in his legs.
 * Sesshōmaru continues his fight with Jakotsu, while Jaken protects Rin from Suikotsu. The imp uses his Nintōjō on Suikotsu, burning part of the bridge, but Suikotsu survives. The bridge then collapses: Suikotsu, Rin and Jaken falling from the cliff down into the river below.
 * When Sesshōmaru turns his back to Jakotsu in order to save Rin, the un-dead swordsman sees an opportunity to attack, noting that Rin is Sesshōmaru's weakness. He swings his sword at the demon, but Sesshōmaru bounces the sword back at him, almost killing Jakotsu, "missing him by a hair". Sesshōmaru hops down the cliff to save Rin, and is reuinited with Jaken, but discovers that Rin's scent has been washed away by the river.
 * Rin wakes up in the arms of Doctor Suikotsu. She is frightened at first, but then realizes that he's changed, and that his face is different than before. Doctor Suikotsu offers to take her to his village until her companions come looking for her. She agrees to follow him, thinking that he doesn't seem very dangerous.
