Suikotsu fights InuYasha with ease, that is until his doctor persona struggles to emerge again. InuYasha and his companions tend to Kikyo, taking her to a nearby forest in order for her to regain consciousness.

While InuYasha and his companions head to Mount Hakurei, the four remaining members of the Band of Seven are finally reunited with their leader.
