For Jaganshi

 It had been a while since the first King's Tournament in the Makai was held, seating the basically unknown Enki as the first ruler of Demon World.

Indeed it had been long enough that other kings had come and gone, though frequently that king seemed to be a friend of Raizen's, with exceptions in between.  Which meant overall the rules put in place had remained the same and a sort of strange peace between the worlds continued.

It had also been long enough that a certain red-head, now without the human mother  he had long tried to protect, had bowed out of human society by faking his own death and moving to a small place he had commissioned built on the land granted he and the others by Genkai in her passing.

Only a select few knew where he was, and although he returned to the Makai for herbs and seeds, to visit Hiei or participate in the King's Tournament, Kurama was content to remain with his books at his home in Human World, taking up the occasional hunt for a rogue demon, yet otherwise doing little else.

He'd also set the various land that had been given by Genkai with sensors to warn of any demon energy coming into it, and a special sensor for the fire demon who he had added an open air loft extension onto the house for, which meant he knew the moment Hiei crossed into the boundary of the forest.

Standing, Kurama moved to the door to wait for his guest, curious how amused his friend would be that he'd allowed his hair to grow longer, near to the length it had been as Youko, yet braided behind his back to keep it out of the way.
