"Well, you have a point" - nodded Lucoa as he started to think - "If you join in the magic games, it will only make the guild dependent on you in the future, and from what I can see, you won't be here for long."
Kurama nodded, he could feel how the mission he had received by being summoned to this place, was about to end, or at least it was only a short time away.
"Is that why you haven't mated with many women in this world?" - Iruru asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"That's a part of it, though the real reason is that I haven't felt that connection" - Kurama answered while shaking his head - "I feel the spark is there, but something is missing."
Lucy, Mirajane, and the other women who were listening, thought carefully because it made sense, the strange white-haired man hasn't tried anything with any girl in the guild, and from the looks of it, he could just get into their pants without much trouble.
"We'd better change the subject," Kurama muttered as Iruru nodded with a small smile.
"So, when do we mate?" - Iruru asked as she got straight to the point.
Kurama gave her a blank look as the girls blushed at the images that popped into their minds.

A week later, Kurama was sipping some tea, watching as Natsu and the others sparred on a nearby beach.
Irene was watching her daughter from a distance as she shook her head.
"Are you feeling better, more stable?" - Kurama asked, not looking at the beautiful red haired woman.
"Yes, my emotions are stable, my human memories are coming back, by the way, thank you for sealing my memories of prison" - replied Irene while shaking her head.
"You don't have to thank me, I just did what I had to do" - replied Kurama calmly as he watched curiously as Virgo appeared in front of the group and asked them to accompany her to the world of the [Celestial Spirits] - "Oh, this is bad for them."
"Yes, the time flow of the spirit world, is much faster than the human world" - Irene replied as she pondered - "If I remember correctly, every hour inside the celestial plane, is 15 days in the human world."
"Oh, then they're in trouble" - said Kurama as he let out a laugh, but his expression changed when he saw how a silhouette appeared in front of them - "Aries?"
"Hello, Kurama-san" - smiled Aries as she saw the white-haired man - "It's been a while."
"Yes, seven years" - Kurama replied sarcastically.
"Yes, though it's a little less for us" - nodded Aries with a small smile.
"I see you're doing better, not only are you calmer, but you seem to have regained your self-confidence" - smiled Kurama as he noticed how the girl blushed.
"Well, I couldn't keep suffering over the past, not counting that Leo and Libra have helped me" - answered Aries calmly - "They have been very important to me".
"That's good to hear, I'm happy about your progress" - Kurama nodded as he looked curiously at the woman - "I want to assume that you've come to tell us something."
"Yes, I'm sure you already know that Lucy-sama entered the celestial plane" - said Aries as she watched the white haired man nod - "Well, the thing is that our king feels that if you enter our world, it's possible that you will cause an imbalance in the astral laws"
"I understand, you don't have to worry, we weren't planning to enter either" - Kurama replied as he tried to comfort the girl because he could see that she felt sorry.
"Thank you for your understanding, and again I apologize" - murmured Aries with sorrow - "Anyway, now that I already accomplished my mission, it's time to thank you for all the help you gave me years ago, thank you very much, without you, I wouldn't have known what to do, and I wouldn't have changed myself"
"Again, you don't have to thank me" - Kurama smiled as he put his hand on the girl's head - "You are a person with a soul too pure to suffer so much."
Aries smiled before she started to cry - "Thank you."
With that said, she disappeared because she felt that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to hold on.
"The purity of that girl, it's breathtaking, it makes me want to corrupt her" - Iruru muttered as her eyes sparkled slightly, only to let out a small scream - "Ouch! Why are you hitting me?"
"For saying something out of place, people like Aries should be protected" - replied Kurama neutrally.
"I know, just kidding" - muttered Iruru with annoyance - "Just a little".
Kurama rolled his eyes at her before walking to the beach house he had created, after all, Natsu and the others wouldn't be back for quite some time.
* * * *
A few months later, Kurama was watching with amusement as Lucy and the others had a blank look on their faces.
"We lost, three months" - muttered Lucy as she began to scream - "The great magical games is a week away from starting, and we lost our months of training!"
Kurama couldn't take it anymore, so he started laughing uncontrollably.
"It's not funny, Kurama!" - Gray exclaimed with a frown.
"Of course it is," replied Kurama with a huge grin, "But it's not like I can't fix it."
"What do you mean?" - Natsu asked with a frown.
"That I can create a zone with an altered time flow, where you guys can train for a year, while outside only one day passes" - replied Kurama calmly.
"Why didn't you say that before!" - Natsu exclaimed as he roared with fury.
" You never asked me for help" - replied Kurama innocently.
Natsu and the others gave him a blank look as Iruru let out a laugh.
"Please help us" - Gray said as he slightly bowed his head.
"Sure, but when we get back to the guild because I'm sure Mira-chan and the others, they're going to want to train inside too" - Kurama replied as the others nodded.

When they returned, Kurama quickly put a temporary seal on one of the guild rooms, but not before reinforcing it with his chakra, then returning to where his family was.
"I feel like there's something you want to tell us" - Ultear said while raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, the first thing is about your mother, I don't think I can awaken her in this dimension" - replied Kurama with a frown - "It seems that the creator of this dimension gave absolute control to the gods over the different laws, and I can only access the authorities of the dead or sealed gods".
"Authorities? Are you talking about the powers that the gods control?" - Iruru asked curiously.
"Yes, for example, I can control time at will because the god of time of this dimension, is dead or sealed, and he or she cannot directly intervene against my actions" - answered Kurama while shaking his head - "The problem is that the gods of life and death, are still alive, and I cannot control their authorities if they don't allow me to, because if I do, I would only be causing a rupture in the core of this dimension."
The girls were confused, well, except Lucoa who understood what he was trying to say thanks to her being a former goddess.
"What I'm trying to say, is that if I try to use an authority that I'm not authorized, it could cause a dimensional collapse" - Kurama replied with a frown - "Normally this wouldn't happen because the gods of the dimensions don't have absolute control over these authorities, they just use a key to access them, but as I said before, the creator of this dimension gave them full control, and now I can't do much unless I want to destroy the world"
"Oh, I understand" - muttered Ultear regretfully.
Meredy quickly put her hand on her mother's shoulder and began to comfort her.
"Now, why am I telling you this?" - Kurama said as he continued - "It's not to discourage you, but to tell you that if you want to see your mother, you're going to have to wait until we leave to my dimension."
"Will you take me with you?" - Ultear asked with surprise.
"Don't even think about escaping, remember that your body and soul are mine" - replied Kurama with a grim smile.
Ultear let out a laugh as a small tear ran down from how hard he was laughing - "True, I belong to you, master ~"
"Tch" - Kurama clicked his tongue when he heard this as the others shook his head - "Ok, leaving that aside, I think I know what my mission is, so I'm going to complete it and see if I can return to my dimension."
"Really?" - Tohru asked in surprise.
"Yes, I think it has to do with a certain fake dragon and a dark wizard" - replied Kurama with a frown - "Although if I'm being honest, I think it's more with the toy dragon."
"You mean the giant lizard that thinks it's a dragon?" - Iruru asked with a frown - "If you want I'm going to take care of him myself, by the way I'm going to "talk" to those who call themselves dragon gods."
"Right, I'm curious to know how strong these "gods" are, it's my duty as their senpai ~" - smiled Lucoa.
Kurama gave them a blank look before letting them do whatever they wanted.
