You're right about the errors in both spelling and grammar. I'm a lazy butt and don't like editing. I'll edit the chapters one day when I'm bored.
Gomen nasai if the spelling errors are an inconvenience

A tall dark figure landed gracefully on the balcony of an ancient castle. His wild dark blue hair was slightly long reaching to the middle of his back and braided back. His dark skinned elven ears twitched lightly. He stood up after a second, his dark blue eyes closed. He was cloaked in pure black elven robes.
" Where in the hell have you been?" A strict voice snarled at him from the darkness. The blue haired dark elf yelped and cowered from the small figure that stepped out of his shadows.
" Um Hey sis..." He stuttered holding his braid protectively. His sister Mura had a tendency for cutting off his braid or setting it on fire. And he liked his braid.
" Someone you know is in trouble . . " She said grinning wickedly at him. He whimpered uncontrollably then blinked.
" Someone I know . . . who?"
" The hanyou in your class . . . . I think her last name is Urameshi."
" CRAPPP I gotta go bye Mura-chan." he tore off the wall falling into the dirt below.
" idiot" Murasaki muttered before walking into the elven castle.
~Ano….. Mura-chan what is she in danger from?~ She heard her older brothers spacey voice in her head.
~What she is always in danger from Necromancers idiot~
~ crap I got get back to Tokyo on the double byyyyyeeee~
~ Tadasuke wait she's . . . . . . ` Mura smacked her head . "……in the makai. Whatever he can get himself burned to death for all I care."

Kit growled as her hair blew lightly into her face as she fought off more fugaki , a light trail of blood running down her face and arms due to the scratches she had received. Her eyebrow twitched lightly as more and more fugaki seemed to attack her. Her and Hiei being the fastest people there had been sent ahead to see if there were any more fugaki or other opponent standing in there way of actually getting to the castle and what do you know? There were more gray midgets. Not like She should be calling anybody a midget considering she was legally one, not that she payed attention to Ningen laws.
She sidestepped a charging fugaki and gracefully brought her naginata down on his back in an arc. She sighed wiping sweat from her forehead, her messy bangs sticking to her forehead. Her right ear twitched as she heard a sound behind her and turned just in time to see Hiei's sword cut a fugaki in half. She nodded her thanks gripping her naginata harder.
" Your a decent fighter . . " She heard his dark voice growl into her ear . . . he must have been right behind her, they were practically back-to-back. It made sense nothing could attack either of them from behind then.
" Thanks comes from having a psycopathic chaos mage for a teacher, paticulery when she believes in achieving both great physical strength along with magic strength." Kit said grinning cheerfully. He chuckled lightly
" hard training?"
" Do you normally learn how to use street fighting and thief tricks from magic teacher."
" I suppose not . . . you're a mage?" She could sense there was more to that question then was apparent on the surface, well that and Hiei didn't seem like the kind of person to ask questions without a reason.
" Yes . . . I'm a dark shaeman. In other words a dark elemental mage with the abilities of a shaman, like communicating with spirits and being able to seem them as such. It also allows me to assume an astral form; basically I can be a ghost without actually being dead. " She explained fending off her attackers. " You also probally noticed that I have just enough reiki to be alive."
" Yes . . . . You seemed at first glance to be even weaker then that idiot ningen." it didn't take a brain for Kit to figure out he was talking about Kuwabara.
" Yeah . . . . . " She wasn't happy about that either. " I'm weaker then him on another aspect other then reiki, and that's in the physical strength area. I'm not sure how much you know about mages, but its very very very very rare to find mages with an overall great strength well mages with great amounts of magic, I think my sensei may be one of the only ones who has a shitload of magic and strength. So on the basic scale I've got really good strength for a human female meaning I could easily break someone's jaw." her tone implied that she'd done that several times. " But compared to other hanyou's, I'm on the weaker side of the scale and I'm sure I don't need to explain were I'd be on the youkai scale." she paused.
" A mages physical strength depends on how great their magic is in other words."
" Perfect way to put it and much simpler then all that crap I just said." She was still smiling.
" You said dark right?"
" Oh right . . . . For mages there are three types of force most mages can have, Light, equal, or dark. For elemental or destructive spells dark is more powerful and for healing spells light is more powerful or holy spells. Equal just means there is equal power in all spells. All white mages are light meaning any destructive spells they know are pretty much equal or crap and nothing to worry about. Black mages are always dark and usually need amplifiers for healing spells. There are all types of mages. It'd probally take me several hours to go over each one and how the three forces affects them. Shaemanism is one of the few magik's were it's better to be a dark then a light force, there is really no equal force. Basically there are dark elements and light elements, the dark does more damage. . But they are more in tune to the true nature of the elements so their healing which is ment to help heal the planet and stuff like that is stronger not to mention a Shaemans oppiste magic is necromancy or pure ilegal destructive force that eats away at things and rots things. So destructive in this case is better. Not to mention Light shaemans have shit personalitys, there all perverts most of the dark ones are to but they are a bit more descrete about it."
' Event the females?" Hiei sounded slightly suprised. Kit blinked then realised she'd forgotten something.
" There are very few female Shaemans, I'm the first one in several thousand years, and while other mages can use shaeman spells they still arn't shaemans. Like I can use white magic with the help of a whole lot of amplifiers, and I can use black mage and other types, but that doesn't make me a white mage or a black mage. Like how I can use summoning spells but I'm certainly not a summoner. Most mage types have a guild that's were you can really tell how their powers are divided." Kit blinked and blushed bright red.
" Sorry about that." She said hoping her bangs covered her face or at least her eyes, her face a bright crimson. Hiei raised an eyebrow at her.
" Why?" He asked sounding confused at why she was apologizing. Kit glanced around . . . All the fugaki lay dead around them in a field of small gray badly bleeding bodies.
" erm I sort of started babbling . . . I tend to do that if someone gets me started on the subject. "
Hiei merely shrugged " it's fine the information was useful. If I had wanted you to be quiet I would have told you." She couldn't help but smile at that.
Kurama was the first to catch up to them, Yuusuke and Kuwabara caught up minutes later.
" I hope you weren't waiting long?" Kurama asked smiling he looked winded along with the other two ningens.
" Nope not at all." kit said grinning realizing she had no idea how long they'd really been waiting. her sense of time was bad but nowhere near as bad as her sense of direction.

The blue haired elf known as Tadasuke sighed as he collapsed on a random street in Tokyo. He had no idea where he was. He'd had no idea where his apartment was, he had never been to Urameshi-san's apartment. he'd been trying to make friends with her since she entered the school. But she was either dead to the world or he was dead to the world and then she seemed to have disappeared for three years. Mura had hacked into the schools computer to find that she was returning tomorrow, but there was something else she was going to tell him . Or more something she yelled after him. Something about the makai. But the only problem was he had forgotten what the heck a makai was. He shrugged he'd figure it out at some point. he patted the gun that was in his pocket. he had changed into the Sarayashiki junior high uniform. The normal dark blue uniform that every male except Kuwabara and Yuusuke wore. He shook his head trying to keep his attention center. he wondered where Urameshi-san was . he blinked realizing he had no idea what her first name was. Every one called her Urameshi or what was it Kit - he thought. Wow he had actually thought something, that was cool. He shook his head.
" NOOO must concentrate." he yelled at himself banging his head on the cement. He looked up , his sense of smell had caught something. he was outside a bakery and there was bagel in the window.
" Ooooooooh bagelllllllllllll" he smiled happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kit blinked several times as she looked at the entrance to the castle. It was unappealing and to an average person scary. She was by far not an average person, and she was rather happy about that.
" Well this looks pleasant." Yuusuke said sarcastically his hands in his pockets.
" Sometimes you must take a risk to go further." Kurama said calmly, he seemed like the kind of person who rarely lost his cool. But then again people at school said that about her, and she had a rather explosive temper. Explosives were nice.
" I say we make them come here and fight us." Kuwabara suggested. Kit groaned, she summoned a slight bit of wind energy at the tip of her finger making it glow a slight dark green.
" That's the strategy of a fool." Hiei muttered darkly, and Kit agreed with him on that fully.
" Why You . . . . ." Kuwabara never finished his sentence as Kit sent the wind magic around her finger at his feet sending him flying forward and fell flat on his face. Yuusuke grinned catching Kit's look.
" Why what a good idea Kuwabara and so brave of you to go ahead of us. " Yuusuke said walking past him.
" And be a human shield the only thing he's good for." Kit snickered evilly. She knew that every one but Kuwabara knew that was here, Yuusuke had recogonisied the spell, and if Kurama and Hiei couldn't see the magic residue on her finger they were blind. Once they had reached the end of the corridor Kit found herself looking up at a giant golden eyeball with yellow skin, bat like wings and several tenticles.
" Welcome to Maze castle. All visitors must be tried by the gate of betrayal," the eyeball said though how it talked was a mystery since there was no mouth in sight.
" AHHH it talked." Kuwabara gasped with extremely wide yes. Kit heard Hiei scowl darkly above her and glanced up. She then realized she was standing right next to him. How had she failed to notice that before?
" What the hell does that mean?" Yuusuke asked and Kit smacked herself in the head. He always had to ask, always and when he did, it usually didn't have a good nice pleasant answer.
The flying eyeball with tentacles flew over to a switch on the wall in front of them and used one of it's many tentacles to pull it down. The corridor around them began to tremble.
" Urameshi . . .. Why did you have to ask that?" Kuwabara asked him, Yuusuke merely blinked and shrugged.
" ABOVE." Kurama shouted noticing how the ceiling seemed about to fall. And in the next second it did, Kit puts her hands up at the same time as everybody else just barely managing to stop it from crushing them.
" Do you feel it?" The gate is highly sensitive and measures out perfectly to the group's strength, a nd if one-person slips up, and the gate will crush you. Only on will survive and that is the person who betrays the rest and only that person deserves to make it into maze castle." the flying eyeball cackled at them.
Kit gritted her teeth in pain, but then an odd thought crossed her mind.
" Roasty eye . . ." She said giggling softly trying to take her mid off the extreme pain in her arms. She knew anybody that heard her was giving her an odd look. She blinked d as the eye thingy started talking to them again or more like cackling at them, it was strange that she could barely make out what he was saying. She cursed softly under her breath as she realized she was having a dizzy spell. It was normal when she hadn't slept in a long time but as usual it was happing at the worst time possible.
" Damn can't hear what's going on sound fuzzy." her ears had flattened against her head blocking out even more sound.
" Hiei GO NOW." She heard Yuusuke yell and felt him release a large amount of his Reiki to support the ceiling, seconds later she felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist and felt her body being thrown over a shoulder. She blinked and looked up and found herself looking at Yuusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama struggling to support the wall. She realized where Hiei was the second she realized there was a hand on her butt holding her firmly in place.
She squirmed slightly feeling a deep blush covering her entire face. She wasn't uncomfortable and that's what bothered her allllot.
" Hiei what are you waiting for pull the damn lever." Kuwabara yelled, Kit then realized that the fire youkai was hesitating.
" No Need to rush my friend, what have they ever done for you. Come with me and I'll lead you into the castle. The saint beast will gladly welcome you into their circle and together you can rule the human world. And of course you can bring that lovely little hanyou, I'm sure the saint beasts could make use of her." The eyeball cackled at him looking at Kit with a lecherous Look in his one gold eye. The little hanyou paled but growled anyway, keeping her fear to herself and hoping Hiei nor the eye thing noticed. Kit glanced back at Hiei and noticed he was smirking though she was sure she could see a hint of anger in his eyes. He turned around to face Yuusuke and the others chuckling evilly.
" Good beside the boulder would have crushed you anyway." The eye thing said turning away, seconds later she fond her face pressed against Hiei's chest she glanced up and back as He slashed at the eye with his sword. He landed gracefully on the ground; at some point a hand had wrapped itself around her waist to support her. She could hear the boulder the eye ball had spoke of coming crashing down towards them, not that she could see the only thing in her vision right now was the black of Hiei 's cloak. She heard screams of her and Hiei's names when the youkai jumped holding her against him and landed on top of the boulder.
" Tell your masters that's it's not to late to beg for mercy." Hiei said glaring at the twitching bloody eye. Kit grinned happily suddenly and uttered one word.
" BOOMIES" the bleeding eye thing caught on fire and screeched flying off to a tower leaving a trail of burning body parts behind. She heard Hiei chuckle softly at her spell as he jumped down still holding onto her.
" That was some pretty good acting." Yuusuke said grinning at them both. Kit sweatdropped, she had a feeling, a very strong feeling that wasn't acting in the least.
" I wasn't acting. I only helped you because I might need your help. " Hiei said coldly and gently released his hold on Kit, the small girls face was practically on fire. Kurama gave an amused look at Hiei and the glanced at Kit an odd smile on his face.
" I still don't understand why anybody would save an unattractive pipsqueak." Kuwabara said glaring at her. She rolled her eyes and ignored him still attempting to get her face back to its normal color.
" I think she's very attractive." Hiei said as he walked off. That did not help as Kit blushed if possible even redder.
" Erm right well erm. . Lets get going " Kit stuttered and walked out of the room.
Kurama chuckled lightly smiling thoughtfully.
" Something on your mind Kurama?" Yuusuke asked noticing this. Kurama shook his head.
" No . . . I was just thinking of something I'm planning to do after this is over."
" What's that?"
" I can't exactly say." He said smiling and walked off into the next room where Kit and Hiei were. Yuusuke blinked and shrugged and followed.
" HEY WAIT UP GUYS." Kuwabara yelled practically being left behind.
