Chapter 243

The Scent of The Seven is the 243rd chapter of InuYasha manga.

Synopsis

 * Inuyasha begins to fight with a badly injured Ginkotsu.
 * Renkotsu reveals to Inuyasha that he is one of the Band of Seven. Inuyasha couldn't tell that Renkotsu was un-dead because Renkotsu had just finished burying the Monks of the temple, so the whole place smelled like a graveyard. Also, Renkotsu put on the robe of the head Monk, (who was recently alive), further tricking Inuyasha's nose.
 * Renkotsu sets the temple on fire, with Kagome and the others still inside. Shippō wakes up and tries to move his friends, but he isn't strong enough. He starts to protect them with his fox fire, hoping it will work.
 * Inuyasha desperately wants to go save his friends, but Renkotsu and Ginkotsu won't allow him to pass.
 * Kōga runs into Jakotsu, who smells of corpses and graveyard soil, just like Kyōkotsu did. When they start to fight, Jakotsu says he needs to end the wolf quickly so he can go watch Inuyasha die. Kōga then starts to worry about Kagome's safety.
