Episode 109

Plot
The sleeping evil side of Dr. Suikotsu is awakened after he received a slash from Jakotsu's sword, leading him to attack the children. Inuyasha rushes in to protect the children, but was separated from his Tetsutsaiga in his previous fight with Renkotsu. Kagome and the others deduces it down to a split personality, where a hidden and subdued personality of Dr. Suikotsu has emerged after a trigger, one that is bloodthirsty and evil.

Suikotsu proceed to fight Inuyasha in close quarters after Renkotsu tosses Suikotsu his Wolverine-like claws. Just as Suikotsu gets the upper hand on Inuyasha by slashing his stomach, the children from the village shouted for him to stop, which causes the splitting personalities of Suikotsu to visibly battle for control. Upon seeing that the evil Suikotsu has not entirely taken over, Renkotsu orders Ginkotsu to attack the unconscious Kikyo. Because Suikotsu is preventing Inuyasha to rescue her, the gang decided Miroku to take action to save Kikyo, and with some aid from Kirara, successfully saves Kikyo. Then, Renkotsu admits that they were purposelly distracting them so they could kill the children from the village and sever the final link the good Dr. Suikotsu has to the world, allowing the evil Suikotsu to completely take over.

Before Jakotsu kills the children, Suikotsu has another moment of clarity and begs him to stop. Renkotsu sees that the barrier of Mt. Hakurai is stopping him from fully taking over, so The Band of Seven members decided to retreat and leave Mt. Hakurai to escape from the purity of the place.

The gang then sees that Kikyo is not reviving because the place is preventing her soul collectors from coming to the rescue. Kagome is overcome with sadness upon seeing Inuyasha's apparent concern for Kikyo, and her repressed sadness puts all the others on edge when Kagome suggests Inuyasha carry Kikyo away from the village. When Kikyo becomes revived, she explains to the gang that Mt. Hakurai is a sacred mountain that purifies the air around from any evil aura, which allows Dr. Suikotsu's pure heart to emerge and subdue the evil Suikotsu, and which also prevented her soul collectors from saving her. The gang decides to travel onward to Mt. Hakurai, but Kikyo stays behind to protect the children from the village and because her own being would not allow her to go any further into the sacred mountain. While Inuyasha and Kikyo look intimately at each other, Kagome wonders sadly if he still has feelings for Kikyo.

The next day, clueless Inuyasha asks Miroku why Kagome was ignoring and avoiding him, who tells him that it's because she's feeling emotionally betrayed and suggests he give Kagome some space. But Inuyasha relentlessly pursues the topic, at which Kagome eventually painfully responds that although she knows Inuyasha and Kikyo have a bond together and it hurts her, she will continue to stand by Inuyasha because that is what she must do. Then Kagome snaps at Inuyasha's insensitivity and enraged repeatedly yells Inuyasha to 'sit' and painfully thrown onto the ground multiple times.

Meanwhile, the Band of Seven member continue travelling to meet up with Bangotsu the leader of the Band of Seven.
