AN: I'm finally back! I know its been forever since I posted an update, but I've gone through some majorly bad months. Lets just hope that everything gets better now. And I apologize in advance if the story runs a little lame for a chapter or two. I'm trying to get back into Sango's mindset.

Ch. 246-248

These Shinchinintai are really starting to get to me. Running into them continually, one right after the other just really bothers me. Like we're being set up. So far we've counted 3 of them dead. One killed by InuYasha, one killed by Sesshoumaru, and one by Kouga.

InuYasha allowed us to rest for a day or so before heading out to continue the search. It didn't take us long to pick up a trail either. It was Kagome-chan that caught it. Her senses picked up a new shikon shard, and I was pretty sure that in the area we were in, it was safe to assume that it was one of the Shichinintai.

But Kagome said that the shards presence was pure. I think that threw us all off. InuYasha was very upset by it. When we came across the man with the shard, InuYasha was a bit harsh, even though the man seemed harmless. He was surrounded by children and helping them pick herbs and such. No doubt a doctor.

Unfortunately we were all distracted by smoke and fire from the village before us. Kagome and I grabbed the children and held them from running back to the village, but we couldn't stop the man. I think I remember hearing that his name was Suikotsu.

Back on the subject…

After hiding the children in a safe location, we entered the village quickly, only to come across Renkotsu, Jakotsu, and one that sort of looked like a, well…. I'm not sure. But I think he was one of the Shichinintai, since the other two were riding on him. Kikyou was there too, with Suikotsu.

But gah….. Jakotsu.

Jakotsu squealed and waved upon seeing InuYasha. That … person still sends chills up my spine. I would love to kill … it.

Anyways, the battle was going horrible for anyone that was opposing the Shichinintai. InuYasha was distracted, trying to protect us from Renkotsu. Suikotsu was pleading to Jakotsu to kill him and leave the village alone. And the thing fired something and knocked out Kikyou.

Unfortunately the doctor must have had a close tie with the children, because they came running towards us, and would have been killed by Jakotsu, if it weren't for Suikotsu jumping in front of them. I think that being hit by the snake blade triggered something, because I heard Kagome-chan tell InuYasha that the light from Suikotsu's shard had turned black.

We determined that he had multiple personalities.

A little bit of talk went down between InuYasha and the new Suikotsu, before the fight started. Miroku snuck off to grab Kikyou and pull her to safety, but the children began running towards Suikotsu again. I don't think they understood. But as a child how would you understand two people living in one body? I'm not sure I understand it much myself.

But the children seemed to have some sort of affect on Suikotsu and he froze. Jakotsu and Renkotsu grabbed him, and the 4 Shichinintai retreated. We all gathered around Kikyou and pulled her to a better area, since it seemed the Shinidamachuu could not reach the area we were in.

I really gotta learn to watch my mouth around Kagome with InuYasha is near Kikyou. I'm afraid that at those times, she may prove to be the deadliest of us all.
