Liger003 ~ Okay, sorry about the last chapter, I uploaded the unfinished one by accident. I thought that I only didn't save before I updated, but there were two chapter sevens! Don't ask me why there were two chapter sevens, I have no idea! So I fixed it and if you last read to 'whips out her glaive and uses it as' then you need to read the bottom of the chapter seven. Sorry!

Okay, here is a review that really caught my attention, and I mean REALLY! Whoever wrote it didn't leave their name, but thanks for reviewing (everyone else too) and sending me into shock!

Chapter Eight ~ Dragon's bite

Inu-Yasha looked through the fog, which he now knew was steam. He saw the pair of red glowing eyes. The eyes blinked and next to them appeared four more beside them. There were now three sets of blinking eyes.

"Oh, shit." Inu-Yasha said under his breath as he stood his ground. He grabbed instinctively for the Tetsusiaga and held it out in front of him. It didn't transform he knew that it wouldn't, by now he was a full human. The monster roared and came closer as if challenging him. Inu-Yasha stepped back to find that the door was gone. He was now on like a fighting ring that stood in the middle of, (wouldn't cha guess?) A pool of hot lava. 'I now know where the steam came from.' Inu-Yasha thought.

The monster in front of him stepped closer. It was now in viewing range. The monster was a dragon with three heads. It had shiny green scales and teeth that dripped with saliva. He wanted to step back further, but could not. As you guessed he was on the edge of the rink. A thought passed through Inu-Yasha's mind. 'What in the world does fighting a dragon have to do with coming back to life?'

He held the Tetsusiaga out. He knew that since it couldn't transform that there was not much he could do with it, but it still made him safer to know that he had some weapon. He ran at the dragon, but instead of attacking, he slid in between its leg, he needed to stall for time and keep his distance while he tried to figure out what to do. The heads snapped at him while he slid through and one dug the tip of their fang into Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha yelped in pain but didn't stop, he needed to buy time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first thing that Kagome noticed was a pounding in her head. She didn't know what caused it, but man could she use some aspirin. She slowly opened her eyes with a groan. She was lying on her back on some type of hot stone. She sat up and rubbed her head. She looked around and quickly saw that she was not in Naraku's castle anymore.

She saw that she was on some type of fighting rink. She heard a roar and tried to look through the steam that was everywhere to try to figure out what it was. The sound grew closer and she saw a foot stepping towards her. Just then something darted out from under it. She saw a red blur slip past the foot. Whatever it was skidded to a halt in front of her. She had a trouble seeing the form through the steam but could make out a red baggy outfit and long black hair.

"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome whispered in shock. He seemed to be staring straight at her.

"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha looked at the person in front of him. "Those idiot Grim Reapers!" Just then a head appeared and Inu-Yasha ran towards Kagome. He quickly threw her over his shoulder and bolted. "Kagome! Are you dead?"

"No, I am very much alive!" She yelled at him.

"Then how in the world can you see me?" Inu-Yasha dodged another head the best he could. He barely dodged, but he had to keep Kagome out of danger.

"What do you mean, 'how can you see me'?"

"Damn it! I don't have time for this! I am dead! A ghost! I am working to get my life back! And to get it back I have to fight that." He pointed to the dragon. "Which I have almost absolutely no idea how to beat!"

"Almost?"

"I do know one thing about dragons. They have a very sensitive spot right behind their eyes. If you hit that they are done for."

"So what are you waiting for?"

"Hello! I have no demon powers! There is absolutely no way for me to get up there, and don't even suggest you going up there!" Inu-Yasha yelled at the girl who had slid from his shoulder and was now on his back.

"I have an idea, but it will take both of us." She looked up at the dragon and shuttered. 'That thing looks hungry!'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, Death what was the test?" Grim asked.

"Just having Inu-Yasha go up against a dragon and saving Kagome's soul that we took." Death shrugged. "I'm not going to let anything terrible happen to them, though. Kagome shouldn't be dead, so I am going to watch her closely."

"You WHAT!?" Silence stood up and yelled. "What are you? STUPID? Dragons eat human souls!"

"WHAT?" Death started looking through her papers. "There is nothing here about dragons eating human souls!"

Grim walked behind her and looked at the papers. "Oh, yes it does!" Grim pointed to an article where it talked about the dragon's eating habits. "Right there, 'dragons like animals such as deer and bears, but among their favorite foods is human souls.'"

"But isn't he already dead? He can't die again." Death stated.

"What kind of Grim Reaper are you? Dragons have magic! Just like demons! It won't eat demons but it will eat human souls! You IDIOT!" Silence yelled.

"But Inu-Yasha's a half demon." Grim wondered out loud.

"Not when he walks through those doors to get to the other side! That dimension traveling knocks out any demon powers!" Death cried out.

"So Inu-Yasha and Kagome are just a few hamburgers walking around in a hungry dragon's territory? That sounds safe!" Silence said sarcastically.

"Oh, God! We have to get them out of there!" Grim cried. "Open the gate, Death!"

"I can't right away! It will take time to override the system. I programmed it so that it would go and get them on its own." She ran over to the controls and started typing furiously. "It will be a while, see if there is anything that you can do to help him. Grim you're his Grim Reaper; you should be able to communicate with him through your minds. Tell him just to wait a while longer until I can open the doors."

"I'll try." Grim closed her eyes and concentrated. Getting through to Inu-Yasha was not going to be easy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shippo shivered. Up above him was Naraku's castle. They had to get Kagome out of there so that she could kiss Inu-Yasha and he could have his friend back. He looked behind him to see Kirara with Inu-Yasha's body on her back. Myoga hopped onto his shoulder.

"Shippo, you have to go into there unnoticed to get Kagome." He reminded the fox demon.

"Right." He nodded.

"You will have to be transformed the whole time. Do you think that you can do it?"

"Yeah." Shippo nodded. He normally wouldn't take on something like this, but if it meant that he could get his friend back he'd do anything. He glanced up at the castle. He was going to get his friends out of there.
