Bonsai tree ?
I wanted to plant just a little bit of grass in the pot that my bonsai tree is in, I was wondering if that would be okay for the bonsai. Also do you think the grass would grow in the special bonsai soil ?
Pots for bonsai are very shallow and relatively small. The root system of the grass would extend to the bottom of the soil and you would risk strangling the roots of your plant. Also, the grass would draw nutrients from the soil.

Grass as opposed to moss, not recommended as competition for nutrients in the soil in the pot will cause a lot of problems.
Why don’t you check out some bonsai groups like the one below.
