Chapter five ~ Dead or Alive?
"So, what is this test?" Inu-Yasha asked his Grim Reaper guide through death. They were flying toward the place where he would have his first test. He was really liking flying, it was kinda fun!
"You, know, I really don't know." Grim scratched her head. "But I bet it's pretty hard. Death makes them up and she doesn't believe in all this giving people a second chance to come back to life, even if they died before they were supposed to."
"Like me?" Inu-Yasha wondered.
"Yep."
"Great." Inu-Yasha said sarcastically. He thought about what he would do. If he had to fight a demon he would only have to slice it with his claws, but for some reason he didn't think that it would be that easy. He started to worry what if he couldn't pass the tests? What if he couldn't come back to fight Naraku and save Kagome, Miroku, and Sango? Would they stay slaves to him forever? He couldn't let that happen. He wouldn't let that happen.
Suddenly Inu-Yasha started slowly falling. What was going on? He had been climbing higher and higher, but now he was starting to loose altitude!
Grim seemed to be in her own little world and didn't even notice. He tried with all his might to keep up. He gave it one last push to keep flying and when he lost it, he dropped down completely.
"Whaaa! Grim!" He hated it, but he needed her help.
"What?" Grim looked behind her to see Inu-Yasha plummeting down to the ground. "Oh, crap!" She cried and started down after the falling dog demon. There was no way she could catch up to him before he hit ground. He wouldn't die, he couldn't, but he would be in a lot of pain. Plus, they had been flying for a while and she didn't want to have to fly all of that again. She couldn't grab him; she was so close only a few feet away! She didn't try to grab him again; instead she gripped her sickle and held it by the very end. She swung it down to him and the point gripped onto his shirt. Grim pulled him up with her sickle.
"What happened?" Grim asked him as he hung from the end of her sickle.
"How should I know? I just started falling!" Inu-Yasha complained.
"Oh! That's right! I forgot! You're a newbe ghost! Duh!" She hit herself on the head; "You can't fly this high for a while! Sorry, it'll take a while till you can fly any higher than you just did. I'm surprised that you flew as high as you did. It must be your demon blood."
"Well, what am I supposed to do? Hang off of your sickle all day long?" He asked her sarcastically.
"I guess I'll have to give you a piggy back ride." Grim scratched her head.
"WHAT?!" There was no way he was going to do that.
"It seems like the only way . . ." Grim sighed.
"NO WAY! ABSOLUTLY NOT!" Inu-Yasha's pride wouldn't let him do something like that.
"I don't like the idea either! But the faster you get there, the faster you can take those stupid tests, and get back to the living world or go to hell! Do you want to make your friend suffer longer than they have to?" Grim asked, getting ticked off.
"Fine." Inu-Yasha grumbled as she pulled him up to her back. He grabbed her robe and pulled himself to her back. "I can't believe that I am doing this."
"Me neither." Grim hissed back to him. Grim held her sickle behind her back to give him something for him to sit on while he hung onto her robe.
After a while he decided that he needed to ask her something. "Hey, Grim?"
"Yeah, what?" She hissed. She was not having a good day.
"What did you mean?" He asked. She looked behind her and to her back at him. He looked like he was in trouble. The little doggie looked as if he had just chewed the corner off of a table and was getting punished for it. She smiled, he was so cute! Wait! She couldn't think like that! He was a dog! She absolutely hated dogs! Where was a tree to bang you head on when you needed one?
"Mean what?" She was glad that her hood was up, she couldn't stop smiling.
She felt his hands pulling on her robe tighter. "That if I don't pass these tests, I'm going to hell."
"Well, yeah. If you don't pass these tests, you might have to go there." She looked at him, he looked so sad. "But don't worry! That will come later, IF you don't pass these tests." He tightened his grip on the robe some more; they were getting really tight around her neck.
"Right. So I may not be able to come back at all." His grip tightened again.
"* Choke * . . . *cough * . . .*gag *"
"Grim?" Inu-Yasha asked curiously.
"*Cough * . . . *gag *" Grim started loosing altitude and used one hand to try to grab her neck.
"Grim!" Inu-Yasha was starting to get nervous, what was wrong with her.
"*Cough * can't . . . *gag * . . . breathe." She managed to cough out.
"What?" He looked at his hands, for the first time he noticed just how much of her robe he had bundled up in his hands, "Oh. . ." He quickly let go, and Grim started taking deep breaths. She pulled her hood down to get more air. As soon as she got her breath back. . .
"What in the world do you think that you were doing?!" Grim yelled.
"Sorry." Inu-Yasha told her.
"I swear! Next time you try something like that I am going to drop you! And I won't come after you either! I'll just let you fall that long ways down!"
"Feh! I didn't think that ghosts needed to breathe." Inu-Yasha crossed his arms.
"You don't! I do! I am not a ghost! I am the Grim Reaper! I don't need nearly as much air as humans and demons do that are living! I am between life and death! That is how I do this stupid job! I am not alive, but I am not dead either!"
"Feh! You expect me to believe that? It is not possible for you to be in the middle of life and death. That's impossible!"
"You idiot! I am appointed by the God of Death and approved by the God of Life! They gave my sisters and me the powers of both! So there for I am not dead, but I am not alive either! IDIOT!"
"What?"
"That is how we are able to do tests like the one we are going to give you! The God's both approved that you should be given a second chance! You should be happy! That happens once only every couple thousand years!"
"Whatever." Inu-Yasha said and looked away from her. She wanted more than anything to strangle him!
"Why you . . ."
"I what?" Inu-Yasha raised an eyebrow.
"You don't deserve to go back!" She hissed. "Maybe you shouldn't be able to take those tests."
"You don't have a choice. Didn't the Gods tell you to?" Inu-Yasha snickered.
"I hate you."
"Fine with me." He yawned.
She looked down forward, refusing to look at the jerk on her back. Just then she saw the point of something. Hey it was the top of the Death building! Finally! They were here! Once they landed dog boy was no longer her problem!
End of Chapter Five.
Liger003 ~ I know there really wasn't really much of a point to this chapter, except to get to know Grim a little better, but it was really fun to write! If anybody has ideas for tests or anything like that, they are more than welcome! I have a few ideas of my own, but hey! I'd like to hear yours, too! So please review! Ideas, hate reviews, I don't care! I just love getting reviews and they make me type faster!
