Two weeks passed, a time that Erza had tried to contact Kurama to make things clear, but to her bad luck, the blond was always busy, or simply wasn't in the guild.
The first week, Erza thought it was a lot of coincidences, however, when the second week came, she quickly understood that the albino didn't want to talk to her, at least for now.
Erza was upset, however there was no way she could solve the problem that was tormenting her, so she decided to go back to doing difficult missions in order to burn some energy.
During this short time, Natsu and Gray were her favorite "victims", while Lucy watched everything from a distance.
Mirajane also found the situation a bit amusing, although at the same time she was sorry for the attitude of her former rival, more so when she was taking her anger out on people who had nothing to do with it.
Erza seemed to understand this, which is why she had decided to go on missions.
That left us with Kurama, who had returned from his "vacation".
"I don't think it's a good idea to keep ignoring Erza-chan" - said Mirajane while looking at the white-haired man.
"When she truly wishes to talk, I will appear in front of her, but I can sense that she hasn't come up with an answer yet" - replied Kurama calmly as he took some sake from Mount Myoboku.
"Maybe talking to you, can make her come to her answer" - murmured Mirajane as Kurama was silent for a few seconds - "Am I right?"
"That's a good suggestion" - Kurama replied before disappearing.
"Do you think he went to talk to Erza?" - Mirajane asked as she looked around.
"Possibly" - nodded Tohru, Ultear and Lucoa.
Ten minutes later, Kurama returned as if nothing had happened.
"Everything okay?" - Mirajane asked as she noticed how the white-haired man was as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, we already talked, and the reaction she had when she saw me, was the most reasonable for that situation" - answered Kurama while shrugging his shoulders - "She gave me a punch in the stomach because I showed up just when she was taking a bath in a nearby lake."
". . ." - Mirajane was silent when she heard this as the others looked at each other, confused because they didn't know how to react.
"After that, we were able to talk a bit calmer, and to keep things even, I also undressed" - Kurama added simply.
"That's not equal, in fact, it's much worse!" - Lucy exclaimed with a red face, although she had to admit that she was jealous of Erza because she could see Kurama's well-sculpted physique and his....
"Pervert" - said Kanna while pointing at the blonde girl.
"!" - Lucy blushed even more when she saw how she had been discovered, but she didn't say anything to defend herself because she knew it was counterproductive.
"W-Well, putting Lucy-chan's erotic thoughts aside, she's right, that was much worse" - Levy replied as she looked at the white-haired man - "By the way, I'd like you to answer me some questions about your species"
"Oh, ok" - nodded Kurama while shrugging his shoulders - "Regarding your words, Erza seemed to accept the proposal, so I don't think she had a problem."
"Or maybe she didn't know how to react, that's why she nodded unconsciously" - muttered Kana while the other girls approved this hypothesis.
It didn't matter if they were in a relationship, or had a crush, if Kurama had done the same with them, they too would have unconsciously nodded, after all, Kurama was the man of their dreams.
Kurama again shrugged his shoulders before drinking again.
"Just that?" - Mirajane asked in surprise.
"Well, the conversation ended a lot quicker than I thought it would" - Kurama replied as he shrugged again.
The women immediately understood what happened, and they honestly couldn't blame the poor red-haired girl.
"What did I miss?" - Natsu asked, confused because everything was too quiet in the guild.
"It's nothing" - Macao answered while shrugging his shoulders.

A month later, the group was preparing for a new day.
During this time, Natsu and the others had gone on a joint mission with other guilds.
The target?
One of the members of the Balam Alliance, the most important trio of the dark guilds.
During this operation, the group faced [Oration Six], a dark guild consisting of 6 powerful mages.
During this time, Makarov asked the albino to take care of his grandchildren.
Kurama agreed and went to observe everything from a distance along with his small group.
Tohru, Lucoa and Kanna, looked with frowns in the direction of [Oration Six] because they could sense the presence of other [Dragon Slayer].
Kurama for his part, focused specifically on one of the members, a tall man with a square face, very familiar, and it didn't help that his aura felt like that of a certain friend of Erza.
Tohru asked him what he would do, when he noticed how the albino had disappeared.
Kurama had appeared in front of this group, which caused a commotion.
Each of the members of [Oration Six], attacked the strange white-haired man, only to be surprised to see how all the attacks went through his body.
Kurama looked with interest at Angel, or rather at the keys she was using.
She quickly summoned [Gemini] to try to harness the blond's enormous power, but to her terror, the twins couldn't even take the form of their strange attacker. She decided to change tactics and summon [Scorpio] and [Aries] to try and see if they were effective, however, when the strange red-haired man rested his gaze on Kurama, his body began to tremble as he could feel the sheer enormous power his body contained.
Aries tried to apologize before attacking, but to her surprise, she saw the strange white-haired man give her a smile before returning her to the existential plane of the [Celestial Spirits].
Angel was furious that her abilities were useless, but to her "relief", she wasn't the only one.
Racer also tried to attack, but nothing had any effect.
Cobra tried to poison him to death, but to no avail, in fact, the poison seemed to drip down his body, as if an impermeable cover was blocking his attacks.
The others remained silent as Kurama walked in Hoteye's direction, before waving his hand and making him disappear.
The members of [Oration Six] were surprised to see this, more so when the strange white-haired man had disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Angel tried to summon Aries again, but to her surprise, she could not call her.
Brain tried to resume the plan, but the lack of some of his members, and the current mental state of the group, made the situation difficult, more so with the death of Jellal, the only person who knew where the fuck [Nirvana] was, the target of their mission.
Hoteye opened his eyes, surprised that he was still alive after that strange man appeared out of nowhere.
Kurama quickly reappeared in front of him and asked him directly if he had family.
Hoteye was surprised by this question, but seeing that this man was dangerous, and that he had no reason to lie, he told him about his younger brother, Wally.
Kurama gave him a description of a Wally who had similar characteristics.
Hoteye let out a high-pitched cry of excitement and happiness when he heard how his younger brother was still alive.
He had been searching all the time for clues to his whereabouts because he had not heard from him for years.
During this time, he had done hundreds of bad deeds, that's why he had joined [Oration Six], but what bothered him the most, was that the culprit, was the same man who had been tormenting them with his death, but what made it worse, was that it was possible that Brain knew about his younger brother, which infuriated him.
Kurama decided to propose that he would send him directly to his brother, which he accepted.
After this little event, Kurama decided to go back to the others to check how everything was developing, which honestly ended as he thought it would.
When he returned, the whole situation was starting to unfold as they had deduced.
Natsu's team managed to defeat [Oration Six], at least the remaining mages, after a bit of a close battle.
Lucy managed to get a few keys after defeating Angel, while the others were resting.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to go back" - Kurama said as he saw how everything was already over.
"That was more boring than I thought" - muttered Tohru as the others nodded.
"I find it so surprising that [Oration Six], was defeated so easily" - muttered Ultear as she shook her head.
"Well, that was... interesting" - smiled Lucoa as she shrugged - "Anyway, we better go home because this was boring."
"I thought you said it was interesting" - said Tohru while raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, I said that because it was the nicest way to say that this was so boring that I almost fell asleep, I was even thinking of going and finish everything quickly" - replied Lucoa while yawning - "Let's face it, when you get to our level of power, the battles of the weak is just a circus show."
