InuYasha arrives at the temple, of where his friends are bewitchingly bedridden, sensing the scent of graveyard dirt. While the supposedly destroyed Ginkotsu soon returns to distract InuYasha, Renkotsu later sets the temple afire before announcing that he is a member of the Band of Seven. Shippo tries to alarm the others of the fire surrounding them, but to no avail. By the time InuYasha finds his friends, Shippo sadly informs him that they have all stopped breathing.
