Chapter 23: Miss Fairy Tail and Thunder God Tribe.

In the town of Magnolia, Lucy was walking home with her fellow Celestial Spirit Mage, Yukino, and her Silver Celestial Spirit, Plue, at her side.

"What a pain, we need to find any sort of job we can do by ourselves, as we need the Jewels to pay for the rent." Lucy said.

The duo of Celestial Spirit Mages was currently on their own to do jobs, as Erza was fixing her Armor after her battle in the Tower of Heaven, Gray was ordered to accompany Juvia, much to the Bluenette´s dismay, Ur was working on her Ice Magic and Natsu needed to do something important, which Natsu didn't explain what he would need to do.

"But Lucy-sama, it´s your apartment, so maybe I should move so that you wouldn't have to pay extra." Yukino said. "Don't say that, and stop calling me Lucy-sama, it feels unnecessary." Lucy said.

Lucy then looked into the sky. "We almost had a job we could have taken on our own, but that Gajeel took the job at the last second." Lucy said with comical anger and a tick mark on her forehead, as she remembered Gajeel snatching the job as they were just about to do it. "What are we going to do...?" Lucy said as she deadpanned.

"Yo, Lucy, Yukino!" Natsu said as he entered the scene with his buddy Happy at his side. "Natsu-sama and Happy-sama?" Yukino said. "What brings you two here?" Lucy asked, surprised by their arrival. "We were on our way to help the others prepare for the Harvest Festival." Natsu said. "Harvest Festival?" Lucy said curiously. "Yeah, every year the town celebrates its harvest, which is on October 15th every year." Natsu said.

"That sounds fun, shall we go for it, Lucy-sama?" Yukino happily asked her Blonde friend. "Well, since we are friends we can go, but then we need to save money for it." Lucy said as she thought. "Don't worry, Lucy-sama, I know we can both have a good time and save money." Yukino said.

Natsu smiled as he saw Lucy and Yukino talking, but stopped on his tracks when he sensed something with his enhanced senses.

"Natsu, is there something wrong?" Happy asked. "This can´t lead to anything good, come with me Happy, I will explain later!" Natsu said, which Happy agreed as they left towards where Natsu sensed the trouble.

"Lucy, Yukino, we are leaving, someone needs my aid!" Natsu said as he then ran with Happy at his side, wasting no words with Lucy and Yukino.

Natsu ran and Happy flew to where Natsu sensed the place was, as Natsu thought what he hoped wouldn't happen. "I am hoping we can make it in time...!" Natsu thought while running.

At the same time, in the South Gate Park...

"Gihi, you two wanted to talk to me, right?" Gajeel said as he went to where Team Shadow Gear was, with Jet and Droy in front of the tree, staring angrily at the black-haired Dragon Slayer, with Levy hiding behind the tree.

"Don't act like you don't know anything!" Droy said with anger. "Yeah, you attacked us and almost hurt Levy! Do you have any idea what would have happened if Natsu hadn´t arrived to help us in time?!" Jet said and then used his High Speed Magic to appear in front of Gajeel and kicked him in the face. "Falcon Heavenward!" Jet said as he kicked Gajeel in the face, sending him back. Droy then tossed some seeds on the ground, which caused vines with fists to appear from the ground. "Knuckle Plant!" Droy said as the fists punched Gajeel.

"JET! DROY! STOP!" Levy screamed, which fell deaf on her teammate's ears, as they continued to attack the Iron Dragon Slayer, until after a number of attacks they stopped when they noticed Gajeel didn't strike back.

"Why... why aren´t you striking back?" Jet said as he and Droy stopped attacking Gajeel, but suddenly a lightning bolt struck down on the field. It then caused a large smoke to cover around the field, as it slowly disappeared, a figure was shown.

"Our guild... has been mocked, insulted, ridiculed, and made fun of as well as seen as something that is nothing but a bunch of weaklings..." The figure said as the smoke died down, revealing it to be Laxus.

"LAXUS?!" Team Shadow Gear shouted.

"What else could this lead to, as we will one day become the lowest state, becoming the lowest and worst Guild in the country...? We may even be the first thing that people insult..." Laxus said with rage.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Laxus screamed as he punched Gajeel in the face with a lightning imbued fist, launching him away.

Gajeel was lying on the ground as Laxus started to stomp him with his lightning imbued feet. "If you hadn't attacked the guild, we wouldn't be seen seen as nothing but pathetic fools who can't even protect their own buildings! Have you fucking any idea what you did?!" Laxus said as he then kicked Gajeel in the stomach.

"Oi, Laxus, stop it, you´re going too far..." Droy said, but Laxus interrupted. "Shut up and besides, he made you look like nothing but a bunch of weaklings! Why should you give a damn about the man who humiliated you? " Laxus said as he then sent a lightning bolt at Gajeel, much to the other´s horror.

The lightning bolt struck down, as it caused an explosion, which suddenly got blocked, much to the other´s, even Laxus´, surprise, making them silent at the turn of events.

Gajeel had widened his eyes in surprise as he saw Natsu with a shield he made from his Dark-Make Magic to protect Gajeel from the attack.

"Void Knight...? Why...?" Gajeel said. "I may not trust you, but Juvia, Levy, and Gramps do, and I would be in a lot of trouble if Gramps found out I didn't do anything." Natsu said. Happy then arrived at the scene which he flew into it. "NATSU! Are you okay?!" Happy said as he flew towards Natsu, who undid his shield he made from Darkness.

"Yeah, it was nothing serious." Natsu said, as he remembered the power he felt from Laxus´ lightning attack. "Dammit, Laxus truly wanted to harm Gajeel, if I hadn't added some extra power into the shield, both Gajeel and I would have been fried." Natsu thought.

Laxus had his eyes shadowed as he then spoke with a cold voice.

"I didn't do it for you, or the rest of Team Shadow Gear or whatever. As if I wanted to protect a group of worthless shit from the Guild who couldn't even defend themselves from their attackers!" Laxus said as he then sent a lightning beam at Team Shadow Gear.

Team Shadow Gear was horrified, as the beam came towards them, but suddenly, it was blocked by Gajeel himself. The lightning struck Gajeel´s back, as it fried him.

"Gajeel..." Natsu said horrified, as he saw the burnt back, as blood covered him. "I am returning the favor, Void Knight, now we're even..." Gajeel said with a grin as he fell on the ground, face down the earth.

Laxus "tched" as he turned around to leave the scene. "Do whatever you want. I am leaving, I don't want to spend time with you weaklings." Laxus said as he left the scene.

"And I will have Fairy Tail, and once I'm done, I'm going to have the guild, as well as mould it as I want it to!" Laxus said as he left the South Gate Park.

Later in the guild...

Natsu and Team Shadow Gear came through the gates to the Guild Hall as they carried a damaged Gajeel inside. The Guild quickly noticed them.

"NATSU! What happened?!" Cana said as she and the other Guild Members came to them. "I got into... a fight... with that Laxus guy..." Gajeel said, before Natsu or the rest of Team Shadow Gear could speak. "As I... wanted to fight that... Lightning Bastard... but I was so fucking wrong..." Gajeel said as he coughed.

"Enough, Gajeel. Elfman, take him to the infirmary and Erza, call Porlyusica to tend his wounds." Makarov said as he arrived at the scene, with Elfman doing what he was told as he picked up the damaged Gajeel, and carried him to the infirmary.

"Thanks for saving us, Natsu." Jet said. "Yeah, we own you once again." Droy said, recalling from the Phantom Lord event. "No problem, I won't have my Mate as well as her friends be harmed." Natsu said, which made Jet and Droy deadpan as Natsu reminded them of being friend-zoned.

"God dammit..." Jet groaned. "Why are we in the friend-zone...?" Droy said as they looked down at the ground in shame in a comical fashion. Levy herself sweat dropped, but came back to reality.

"Anyway, thanks for saving us once again. I wanted to ask you something, and I don't want to be rude for changing the subject, but what did you mean by saying you needed to do something earlier?" Levy asked.

"Well, I was searching for some information on Dragon Slayer Swords, since when I returned, we went on a vacation immediately, I had no time to do so. I was on my way to search after information about the Dragon Slayer Swords, but then I sensed you having an encounter with Black Steel." Natsu said.

"Why didn't you ask me? If you need information, I am the right woman for the job." Levy said with a smile. "I don't know, I didn't wanna bother you." Natsu said, scratching the back of his head. "Nonsense, since I am your Mate, along with the fact that you saved me, Jet, and Droy many times, I want to repay you, as it would be rude not to do so." Levy said as she grabbed Natsu´s wrist and then dragged him to the Library of the Guild.

Later, at the Dark Guild Ghoul Spirit...

"Shit, the strength of these guys is unbelievable...!" A member of the Dark Guild Ghoul Spirit said as he fell down to the ground.

"Honestly, these men were truly not worth our time. It´s a wonder why the people around here hadn't finished them off." A man with a red coat, a pair of light colored pants tucked inside a white pair of boots, had long green hair, blue eyes and had his Fairy Tail Guild Mark in green on the back of his left hand. He also carried a sword, a rapier. His name is Freed Justine.

"I agree with you, Freed. My babies expected something more, right my babies?" A man with a blue suit with thin, vertical stripes in white, had a waist guard of four pieces light color, each having a dark colored "X" on, which reached to his knees, light green gauntlets, light colored boots, and a Knight Mask which covered the upper half of his face. His Fairy Tail Guild Mark is black and is on his tongue.

"Wanted more, wanted more!" The "babies", which were dolls resembling totem pole heads, sang.

"But what else could you have expected, compared to us and Laxus, these men are flies." A woman with short, light brown hair, wore a pair of glasses on her dark brown eyes, wore a green dress with wings resembling a Fairy on the back of it, dark blue stockings, which were reaching her mid thighs, a pair of white, blue heels, and a carried a hand fan as well.

"I recognize them! They are the Thunder God Tribe, a group of Fairy Tail Mages that works directly under the S-class Mage Laxus Dreyar himself, as well his personal bodyguards!" A random Ghoul Spirit Mage said.

"Dammit, we shall teach you a lesson for underestimating the Ghoul Spirit Guild!" A member said with rage as he and a group of ten Ghoul Spirit Guild Members came.

Evergreen then waved her arms, as she then sent some rays of Fairy Dust at their enemies.

"Fairy Dust: Brownie!" Evergreen said as the members where knocked out. "Damn you, you fucking bitch!" Another Ghoul Spirit member said as he and twenty members came running towards Evergreen, as she then calmly removed her glasses. "Please watch your language when you speak to a lady." Evergreen said as her eyes glowed green, turning the attackers into stone with her Stone Eyes.

"What the fuck...?" The others who weren't petrified. "Don't take all the fun, Ever! Me and my babies want some fun too!" Bickslow said as his dolls turned into a V formation, as a group of twenty Dark Mages came to them. "Victory Formation!" Bickslow said as he shot a beam of Green Energy at the group of Dark Mages of Ghoul Spirit, causing an explosion.

"Enough, you two. We need to finish the job, or else Laxus-sama will be furious." Freed said, the Leader of the Thunder God Tribe said as he then pointed his rapier at the crowd of Ghoul Spirit members, as Runes of Magic appeared around the sword.

"Dark Ecriture: Heavy!" Freed said as then the members fell down, as their weight increased. "What the fuck is going on?!" One of the members said. "I have increased your weight to double, which will make you incapable of moving." Freed said as they started to leave. "And what you said earlier, was this truly the lesson you wanted teach us earlier? I shall then teach you one thing, and that is, you don't have the strength to survive anything." Freed said as he then sheathed his sword and turned his back, leaving the Guild with his two fellow Guild Mages, as once they were outside, Bickslow and Evergreen sent their Magic inside the guild, destroying it to pieces.

"Let´s go to Magnolia, where our boss, Laxus-sama awaits us." Freed said, as he, Bickslow and Evergreen were heading back to their Guild.

At the same time, at the Fairy Tail Library...

"Natsu, I found something on Dragon Slaying Swords!" Levy said as she read from a book. Natsu went to Levy to listen to what she had found.

"According to the book, the Dragon Slaying Swords have different levels of power, that their wielders, the Dragon Slayers, can unlock with the aid of training and meditating. The more you train and meditate, the faster it will unlock the Next Level, which can be used to attack powerful enemies." Levy explained.

"So I only need to meditate and train to learn it, which will make me more powerful against enemies?" Natsu said. "Yeah, I know meditating isn't your thing, but I there are instructions you can read in these books." Levy said as she showed them.

"Thanks Levy, I will make sure to make good use for it." Natsu said, making Levy blush. "Well, that´s what Mates are for, right?" Levy said as Natsu gave Levy a kiss on her lips.

Somewhere else, Jet and Droy felt like their hearts were stabbed by knives.

Back with Natsu and Levy, Natsu took the books which Levy said would be useful to learn in order to be able to face stronger enemies in the future.

"Thanks again Levy, I will sure to become stronger to fight future enemies." Natsu said as he left the library with the books, while Levy smiled as she was a great help in aiding her Mate.

At the Same time, at the Bar...

"Yo, Mira?" Cana, the brunette drunkard of Fairy Tail said. "I have already made you the next drink." Mira said as she gave Cana another mug of beer. "Thanks, but that is not what I wanted to talk about." Cana said as she took a sip of her beer. "It´s about Natsu. Have you made your move on him yet?" Cana asked, making Mira stop in silence. "What?" Mira said with a slight blush. "Oh, come on, I know this is pretty random to say, but Natsu is currently allowing other women in his harem. Hey, I even heard a rumor he reads magazines of you in bikinis." Cana said as she took another sip, making Mira blush.

Mira was then quiet for a moment. Cana had a point. Natsu currently had three women, Erza, Lucy and even Levy. From her childhood, she used to tease and bully Natsu, who then used to try to fight her, which often led to fights that lead to the guild into near complete destruction.

As time went by, the feelings Mira had started to grow stronger and stronger, especially during when she, Erza, her little sister Lisanna, and Natsu raised Happy when he was an egg.

As time went after Happy was hatched, Mira's feelings had become more and more evolved, as she tried to deny it by making her sound like a bully.

And on the day Lisanna died after the S-Class mission Mira and her siblings did, she was afraid that Natsu would hate her, saying to Mira that she was the cause of her death. But it was the opposite, Natsu blamed himself for what had happened, which he said as if he followed them on the Strauss siblings´ quest, Lisanna wouldn't have died, which Erza told Natsu to not do.

On the day Natsu left to train, Mira´s world felt emptier than ever before. During the time of Natsu´s absence, she felt as empty as a shell, which as the days, weeks, months, and years went by, even by the time she changed and didn't do any jobs anymore, she still thought of the man she loved, Natsu Dragyama.

"I am going to do it." Mira said. "Huh? What are you going to do?" Cana teased, as she knew what Mira talked about. "I will become one of Natsu´s women, and that is final." Mira thought with a determined smile.

Speaking of Natsu, the Pink-Haired Dragon Slayer came from the library as he carried some books.

"Yo Empty Brain, whose books are you getting those for?" Gray asked. "I am going to have them." Natsu said, making Gray frown in confusion. "What are you going to do with them?" Gray asked. "What do you think, read them of course." Natsu said. It was suddenly a moment of silence, until Gray burst out laughing.

"YOU?! READING?! AS IF THAT COULD HAPPEN!" Gray said as he laughed even more. "But what are going to really use them for?" Gray asked again as his laugher calmed down. "Read them." Natsu said, which this time, made Gray silent as a rock.

"What? WHAT?! YOU ARE READING A BOOK?! MY GOD, THE APOCALYPSE HAS BEGUN, PIGS ARE FLYING AND I AM A GOAT´S BROTHER!" Gray said as he ran out of the guild. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Gray screamed as he left the building.

"What with him?" Natsu said, which he then shrugged, as he noticed Happy. "I am going to train a bit, I will come back for you later." Natsu said to the Blue furred cat.

"Why can't I come with you?" Happy whined. "I am going to do some physical and psychological training, as well as much of it will be meditation." Natsu answered. "Hey, do you think I am a distraction?!" Happy pouted comically. "I will catch you the biggest fish if you don't disturb me." Natsu said. "Aye! You got my attention on that!" Happy said excitedly with a smile. Natsu smiled at Happy´s respond.

"I am going now, see ya later!" Natsu said as he left the guild, willing to make sure to have his Kuroryuken become more powerful to be able to fight powerful enemies and protect his loved ones.

Mira smiled as she watched Natsu leave the guild, with the sole thing on her mind to have Natsu make her one of his women.

In the infirmary...

Gajeel Redfox was lying on the bed as he was bandaged and was still in pain after Laxus beat him. He was currently resting, as suddenly he saw a familiar bluenette come in.

"What the hell do ya want, Shrimp?" Gajeel said as he noticed Levy. "Stop calling me Shrimp. The name´s Levy." Levy said. "What are you here for?" Gajeel asked. "To thank you, for protecting me, Jet, and Droy from Laxus. Thank you." Levy said. Gajeel turned away in annoyance.

"I may not be the kind of guy who holds like some kind of respect code or whatever you call it, but since you are one of the Mates of a fellow Dragon Slayer, it would be disrespectful even for me. Despite what I did in the past." Gajeel said as he remembered the things he did during the Phantom Lord war.

"But that was in the past, you are now in the present and I know it will be a good future if you keep being kind to your Guild Mates and other people." Levy said. "Yeah, I guess so." Gajeel said and then scratched his head. "By the way, since that Void Knight is a real Dragon Slayer, in other words was trained by a Real Dragon instead of these Fake Dragon Slayers with a Lacrima inside them, right?" Gajeel asked. "Yeah, it´s true. Why are you asking?" Levy said. "I needed to know it, as fellow Dragon Slayers." Gajeel said as he then looked into the roof. "If you are raised by a Dragon, then you must know what happened on July 7th x777." Gajeel thought while looking towards the roof.

Later, with Natsu...

It was nighttime, as the stars were shining everywhere and the moon was full.

"It seems I have made some progress..." Natsu panted, as he was wearing no shirt and was barefoot as he both physically trained and meditated to know the Black Sword he owned better. Natsu was soaked in sweat as he dried himself off with a towel, which he then looked at the stars, thinking the beauty they had.

"It seems things has gone well for you." A voice said, making Natsu turn around to see Mira in a long, ankle-length coat with black fur on the collar and edges of the sleeves.

"Mira? What brings you here?" Natsu asked. "Oh, I only wanted to make sure to see if you are doing great." Mira said with a smile. "Yeah, I have worked on mastering the Kuroryuken, I have a lot of learn, which I hope will be able help me to use its full power in no time." Natsu said.

"Natsu, I want to ask you something." Mira asked. "What is it?" Natsu asked. "What do you see me as?" Mira asked. Natsu was quiet for a moment. "Well, it´s very hard to tell." Natsu said as his face turned a bit red while turning his back to face Mira.

Mira smiled as she then walked towards Natsu, hugging him from behind. "Why? Is it complicated?" Mira asked. "Well, I do see you as a friend, but..." Natsu said. "But what?" Asked Mira. "Do you truly want to know?" Natsu said.

"Well, we both know the answer." Mira said as she then let go of Natsu, stepped away a bit and then removed her white coat. Natsu turned around, which made him silent as his eyes widened at what he saw.

Mira was wearing nothing but a black bikini, with the top barely covering her breasts and the bottom was wrapped tightly around her bubble butt.

"Mira..." Natsu said, despite seeing Erza, Levy and Lucy naked before, was frozen at the sight of Mira´s body. "I know what you want, and you know what I want. I am hoping you will understand what I mean." Mira said as she smiled. Natsu went closer to her, as he then noticed something.

Her front ponytail.

Natsu quickly removed the brand holding her front ponytail, as the hair fell down.

"You look more beautiful without it." Natsu said. "So you say I should wear it less?" Mira teased. "Well, if you wear it, it will be rarer to see your hair down, and that is what I love so much, though I rarely see it." Natsu said and then kissed Mira on the lips, with Mira doing the same.

It was a quick kiss, as they immediately split away. "I love you." Natsu said. "I love you too." Mira said with a smile, making Natsu grin, which they then both proceeded to kiss.

(Lemon Begins)

Natsu and Mira kissed each other with incredible passion, as Mira´s soft breasts where pressed against Natsu´s hard chest. Their kiss was intense, as their tongues battled for dominance in their mouths. Mira and Natsu felt like it would never end, as they felt like it couldn't be stopped, until they eventually were forced to stop. As they were catching their breath, Natsu then went to look at Mira´s breasts, as Natsu on instinct touched one of them, making Mira giggle.

Natsu then realized what he had done. "Mira, I..." Natsu said, but was interrupted by Mira. "Don't worry, it´s fine, as we wouldn't be kissing if you weren´t allowed." Mira said. Natsu grinned and then shoved Mira to a tree, as her back hit the bark of it. Natsu was playing with and groping her breasts, which were as soft as snow, yet warm as gentle fire.

While Natsu squeezed them, Mira moaned as her cheeks got redder, while Natsu had lowered his head to have his face closer to her bounds of flesh, while moving his hand to the clasp which held her bra, which once his face was in front of them, he unclasped it, which caused the bra to fall off, as Mira´s boobs were displayed for him to see.

Mira giggled as Natsu looked at them, in all their glory, with the nipples small but erect.

Before Natsu could waste any more time, he put the left nipple in his mouth, sucking it gently, at a quick speed. "Natsu!" Mira screamed, as she enjoyed the feeling, from the simple thing Natsu did sucking on her breasts.

Natsu sucked her nipple as he squeezed and groped her breasts, which then Mira suddenly moved Natsu away from her breasts.

"You may be shirtless, but I want you to undress too. It would be very unfair." Mira said with a smirk, which Natsu moved away from Mira a bit, after which he then took off his pants, showing his red boxers, which showed the erection he had.

Mira giggled, as she never imagined Natsu´s member could be so big.

Natsu was about to pull of his red boxers off, when Mira stopped by grabbing his hands.

"Ah ha, you took of my bra without asking me, which was very rude." Mira teased with a smile. Natsu pouted. "But I am very hard and it feels uncomfortable in here." Natsu whined, which Mira responded by crawling closer. "Well, since I want to see "Little Natsu," I am going to make sure it goes fast enough." Mira said which they then both fell on the ground to lay on the cold but soft grass.

Mira´s breasts were pressed against Natsu´s chest, as they kissed once again. After a long time, their lips let go for air as Mira then moved her hands towards Natsu´s red boxers.

Mira grabbed Natsu´s boxers, and then pulled them down slowly, which Natsu´s member bit by bit got shown for Mira.

Mira´s eyes widened in awe as she saw Natsu's member, despite seeing it in Natsu´s boxers as a bulge, Mira was amazed by its size. Which was one of the reasons Mira was glad she made the right choice.

She pulled the boxers the rest of the way down, before she then tossed it aside after she pulled it past Natsu´s feet. Mira grabbed her breasts as she then wrapped her fleshy mounds around Natsu´s shaft.

Without saying anymore words, Mira started to move her breasts up and down, as Mira then licked the tip of Natsu´s Member. She had her tongue go across the tip, which Mira felt she could do this forever. She then started to put it into her mouth, which she then stopped moving her breasts up and down. She started to move her head up and down, making sure to handle Natsu´s manhood very well, which went great.

Time went by, and an hour later Natsu was close to his climax. "Mira, I am..." Natsu said but was interrupted by Mira. "Don't worry, I am ready. I am looking forward to it." Mira said with a smile, making Natsu smirk.

With some more thrusts, Natsu finally unleashed his warm seed into Mira´s mouth. She managed to swallow most of it, as it travelled down her throat like water through a waterfall.

"Mira, you were incredible..." Natsu said as Mira licked off the last, small bit of Natsu´s semen which hung off the side of her mouth.

"I am glad you were enjoying yourself, as your next Mate, I want to make sure to pleasure you with my own love and passion." Mira said with a smile. "Then it seems like you are ready to be my Mate, Mirajane Strauss." Natsu said as he grinned. "Natsu Dragyama, if I wasn't ready to be your Mate, I wouldn't have come here." Mira said as she then took of her panties, showing her shaven maidenhood to Natsu.

Mira wrapped her arms around Natsu, after which they both kissed as Natsu had placed his hands on her back, which he then moved to her perfectly shaped ass. He groped it, and he gently squeezed it, making Mira moan.

"Enough with the teasing, I want you to make me one of your Mates!" Mira whined with pleasure. "I am glad you are eager for it, because I love you, Mira." Natsu said. "I love you too, Natsu." Mira said with a great deal of happiness, as she was about to be Marked by Natsu.

"Well, here´s goes nothing." Natsu said as he then had his shaft ready to go into Mira´s Maidenhood, which Mira couldn't wait any longer for. "Do it Natsu, and it would make me happier than you can think of." Mira said, which Natsu did the second she said it. "NATSU!" Screamed Mira, which echoes through the forest. "Mira?" Natsu said in panic, despite doing it before with other women in the past, he was afraid that he hurt Mira.

"Don't worry Natsu, it´s just my first time, that´s all." Mira said. Natsu sighed in relief, as he was happy that he didn't hurt Mira.

Natsu then started to pump, as he went in and out of her entrance, which the speed increased at every time Natsu went in and out. Mira moaned as she couldn't have enough of it, as Mira was enjoying every bit of it.

Their flesh made their sounds as they clasped together, which echoed in the area they were in, and eventually, Natsu and Mira reached their climax after an hour later.

"Natsu, I´m reaching my limit..." Mira said. "Me too. Shall we do it together, Mate?" Natsu said with a teasing smile. "You know what I want, Dragon." Mira said with a smile. Natsu understood and then with some more thrusts, they eventually reached their climaxes, as Mira´s juices and Natsu´s seed released.

"NATSU!"

"MIRA!"

As they screamed their names, Natsu bit Mira´s shoulders, as he made Mira the next Mate to be Marked. From where the teeth were bitten, blackness came from it as it formed a pitch-black dragon with wings and red eyes on her back, making Mira an official Mate of Natsu´s Harem.

"It was truly amazing, Mira." Natsu said. "And I am finally one of your mates. Thank you Natsu." Mira said which she turned around for Natsu to see her new Mate Mark on her back. "That´s what Lovers and Mates are for." Natsu said with a smile.

"Shall we continue?" Mira asked. "Yeah, I can handle some more rounds." Natsu said, as then they prepared for a new position.

"Lay down, I am going to handle `Little Natsu,´ While you handle my `Maiden.´" Mira said, as Natsu understood what she meant. "So you wanna have that position, huh?" Natsu said and then got into the position, which Mira was in front of Natsu´s member while Natsu was in front of Mira´s Maidenhood.

Before any more time could be wasted, Natsu started to stick his tongue into Mira´s snatch, while Mira took Natsu´s member into her mouth.

Natsu moved his tongue into her snatch, which went at different locations, as he made sure to taste the inner walls of Mira very well. Natsu stopped it and then started to insert two of his fingers inside of her, moving them at every direction.

While Natsu was working, Mira made sure to give Natsu´s member a time it wouldn't forget, as she licked it while having it in her mouth.

Another hour went by as they were getting close to their climax. "Damn it, I am going to cum again!" Natsu said. "As well as me. We'll do it together, so we can both taste each other." Mira said, as then with some more thrusts and plays, they eventually climaxed, screaming their names.

Natsu tasted Mira´s juices while Mira tasted Natsu´s seed. "You are truly amazing, Mira." Natsu said. "Yep, you truly know how to satisfy your Mates." Mira said with a smile. "I am glad you enjoyed it." Natsu said.

"Then shall we finish it for tonight?" Mira said. "Sure, but I want to do as I want." Natsu said as he then went down to her maidenhood once again. "Still can't have enough?" Mira teased. "Not from someone as beautiful as you are." Natsu said and then inserted his tongue inside Mira.

Despite Natsu doing it earlier, Mira couldn't help but throw her head back from the incredible pleasure.

Natsu licked her maidenhood to no end, as he couldn't have enough, which Mira sweated and moaned while her face was as red as an apple.

Natsu continued to lick her walls of flesh, as well then removed his tongue and inserted two of his fingers inside of her. "Natsu...!" Mira said, with pleasure, which Natsu responded by moving his fingers at different directions, overwhelming Mira with pleasure.

After an hour went by, Mira was reaching her climax. "Natsu, I am close again..." Mira said. "Then let´s do it and call it a night, shall we?" Natsu with a teasing smile, making Mira do the same. He then pulled out of his fingers and then inserted his tongue once again into Mira´s snatch, which he then started play with it more, which after some licks and play, Mira´s reached her limit.

"Natsu...!" Mira moaned, since she gotten used to it despite being a short amount of time in order not to draw any attention, as she released her juices, which Natsu made sure to drink as much of it as possible, which Natsu was able to take most of it.

(Lemon End)

Mira panted as she lay on the grass, which Natsu went to hold her with his arms.

"You are truly amazing, Natsu." Mira said. "Yeah, most women say that. But I am glad you are in the harem, Mirajane Strauss." Natsu said. "Which is something I truly wanted. I love you, Natsu." Mira said. "I love you too, Mira." Natsu said as they then gave each other a kiss on their lips. They then watched the night sky with the stars, as they were as naked as the day they were born.

The next day, Mira told the others of the news, as she and Natsu presented that Mira was now in the harem along with Lucy, Erza and Levy. This of course made Elfman tell Natsu it was "Manly" to have his sister as one of his Mates, hoping it would make his Family "Manlier."

Days had passed, as things went on as the Guild Members and Town people prepared for the Harvest Festival, the Guild Members went on their jobs and some went on their own errands.

"Well, we sure did make some money today." Yukino said, as she walked to the apartment in Strawberry Street with her friend Lucy. "Yeah, but not enough to pay the rent. We need to find a way to find money to pay the rent fast, or you know how scary the Landlady can be." Lucy said as she and Yukino shivered upon the thought of the Landlady, as well as when she threatened to increase the rent due to Yukino moving in.

They then were in front of the apartment house, as they went inside to the apartment.

"But don't worry, I'm sure we can find a way sooner or later." Yukino said as she and Lucy went upstairs to her apartment. "I agree, we do need to think of something and fast." Lucy said as they were in front of door to Lucy´s apartment. "Maybe some rest can give us an idea." Lucy sighed as she opened the door.

And inside Lucy's Apartment, were Natsu and Happy, with Natsu sitting on Lucy´s bed and Happy sitting on a chair eating fish.

"Hi Lucy, had a good day?" Happy said. "AGAIN?!" Lucy screamed. "Maybe she didn't have a good day." Happy said. "Why are you always coming here?" Lucy sighed as she sweat dropped. "Sorry to disturb you." Yukino said as she was about to leave. "DON'T LEAVE, WE LIVE HERE NOT THEM!" Lucy yelled.

Lucy took some time to calm herself down as she sat down, trying to have things gathered in her mind. "Why are you in my apartment? Why?" Lucy asked. "Well, since Natsu has been training for days non-stop to learn and master his sword better, we decided to come here since your apartment is better to rest in than our home." Happy said.

"Then why don't you simply buy a new one if you feel so uncomfortable with it?" Lucy asked. "Well, that would take too much time and money. I am going to sleep by the way, goodnight everyone." Natsu said as he then fell asleep, despite Lucy´s protests.

"Ugh, Natsu sure is a pain sometimes." Lucy sighed as she pinched her nose. "Well, he rests because he trained to become stronger to fight enemies from harming his loved ones." Happy said, which Lucy and Yukino thought he had a point on that.

As Natsu turned around, his scarf fell off, causing him to feel uncomfortable. "What the matter with him?" Lucy asked while Yukino picked Natsu´s scarf up. "It always happens, as the scarf is a memento from Yoruyama, the Dragon who trained Natsu." Happy said.

"A memento from Yoruyama?" Yukino said while holding Natsu´s scarf. "Yeah, Yoruyama was the father of Natsu, since he didn't have any parents, Yoruyama taught Natsu how to read, write, interact with people, as well as how to use Dragon Slayer Magic." Happy explained. "But one day, Yoruyama was killed..." Happy said as his face shadowed. "...By Acnologia." Happy said, as the room was filled with complete silence.

"…Are you saying, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse killed Natsu's father?" Lucy said as fear had struck her to her very soul. "As in the Dragon who no one human can defeat?" Yukino said with fear in her voice.

"Yeah, the Guild was shocked to hear it, as they say that something even greater than Luck saved Natsu from the clutches of Acnologia." Happy said.

Inside Natsu´s dreamland...

Natsu was in his dreamland, as he walked around wearing red pants, a white t-shirt and black shoes, as well as still wearing his scarf. He was now a child as he looked around the rocky terrain and the sky with no clouds and the sun was bright as ever, as Natsu suddenly sensed someone.

Natsu then looked into the air, calling after the one he sensed.

"YORUYAMA!" Natsu shouted, which then, the second he shouted, the sun in the sky got covered by a black dot, as it grew larger and gained a shape, as it then fell down and landed on the ground.

It was a dragon. It was gigantic, was in the shape of a serpentine like body with the scales were black while under the stomach were white, had talons large enough to crush a horse, sharp fangs, black whiskers, red eyes, large black wings, a white and spiky mane on his head which went on his back and tail and large deer horns on his forehead.

"Yoruyama..." Natsu said as tears threatened to come from his eyes. "Natsu, it has been so long since we saw each other." Yoruyama said, which then suddenly, Yoruyama exploded into pieces.

"YORUYAMA!" Natsu screamed, as everything went white.

In the real world...

Natsu was moving around, making those around him look at him in worry. "Dammit, what is going on?!" Lucy said and then Yukino on instinct put the scarf in Natsu´s hand, who then seemed to calm himself down as he then started to smile.

Back in the dream world...

Natsu, who was still a child, was floating in the whiteness, as he then saw Yoruyama floating above him.

"Natsu, I know you are strong, strong enough to protect anyone you want, because I know you are able to. You have Mates, who you protect and protect you, as you truly are a man who anyone cannot dislike." Yoruyama said, as he then slowly started to dissolve.

"Natsu, become strong, stronger than anyone to protect those you care about and show them your power, the darkness, and find happiness in it." Yoruyama said as he then disappeared, leaving a stunned Natsu speechless.

Back to the real world...

Natsu slowly opened his eyes, as he quickly shot up and then looked around. He then noticed his scarf as he touched it carefully.

"Who was it that put it on?" Natsu said with shadowed eyes. "I d-did!" Yukino said as she stammered a bit. "Thank you, I am glad you gave it to me." Natsu said as he hugged Yukino, making her blush a bit.

"Natsu must have had one hell of a nightmare. I can´t blame him, as he encountered Acnologia of all people in the past." Lucy thought.

"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Natsu asked as he let go of Yukino, who was still blushing a bit. Lucy got a tick mark. "You are one to talk...?" Lucy said irritated as she then sighed. "I heard you two are really needing money, why don't you two participle in the Miss Fairy Tail contest?" Happy said. "The Miss Fairy Tail Contest?" Yukino asked. "It´s a Beauty Contest which the winner will receive 500,000 Jewels!" Happy said as he showed a poster of the Miss Fairy Contest.

"500,000 Jewels?! With that amount of money, we could pay our rent for a long time if me and Yukino participate in it!" Lucy said with a grin. "I don't know, Lucy-sama, I am not sure I could do a good performance. Back at Akame Resort I could, but this is different." Yukino said. Lucy had her hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry Yukino, because I will make sure to win the prize for the both of us." Lucy said with a smile.

Three days Later...

The Harvest Festival had now begun as everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild was preparing for the first event: The Miss Fairy Tail Contest.

"Wow, many are looking forward to the contest." Yukino said as she saw the people gathering to watch the contest. "Yeah, but I also have some competition, but don't worry Yukino, I am going to make sure I win." Lucy said with determination.

"Lucy-sama, I know you can win." Yukino encouraged her Blonde Friend. "I am glad that you're competing, Lucy. We´re happy to see you with that determination." Erza said as she entered the scene with Ur and Mira. "Ur, you´re competing too?" Lucy asked. "Why? Can´t a woman from the past show what she can do to the present´s women?" Ur said. "I am hoping we all are going to have a great time today." Mira said. "But it seems the contest is going to begin, so be ready." Erza said as then she, Lucy, Mira, and Ur went to the stage to prepare. "Lucy-sama, do your best!" Yukino said as she gave Lucy a thumbs up.

In the Guildhall, where the guild members gathered, Natsu and Gray sat on their spots as they were prepared to see the Miss Fairy Tail Contest. "Tch, to think Ur-sensei would participate in this." Gray said with his arms crossed. "Hey, don't complain, I can see Ur be able to do well in this." Natsu said.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you all to the Miss Fairy Tail Contest, I am your host, Max Alors!" Max said, as he was a man with short brown hair, a blue suit, white dress shirt and red bow-tie.

"As I hope you all will enjoy the contest, because here is our contestants!" Max said as he introduced the contestants, which were Bisca, Juvia, Levy, Cana, Erza, Lucy, Mira and Ur. "And now, let's begin Miss Fairy Tail!" Shouted Max, as then the woman started to do different performances each, (You already know most of the performances, so I am gonna skip a bit. Sorry if that bothered you.) and eventually, it was Erza´s turn.

Erza smiled as she entered the scene, which she then used her Magic to change her outfit.

"Re-Quip: Gothic Lolita!" Erza said as she then Re-Quipped into her Gothic Lolita Dress, which was a Black and white dress with mid-thigh long skirt, a white and black long sleeved top, long black stocking with a white line on the top and long black heels which reached her mid legs, as well as had her hair tied by a black ribbon. The crowd cheered with joy as they enjoyed seeing her in one of her dresses.

With a triumphant smile, Erza left the scene, as Lucy looked worried. "Dammit, the competition is harder than I thought. But I won't lose, no matter what!" Lucy thought.

"And our next contestant, Ur!" Max said as Ur entered the scene, which then stopped and where quiet for a moment, until she then crossed her hands in a x-formation, which then engulfed Ur in ice, as it formed around her in an egg-shaped cocoon. The second after it, it then exploded in a white flash, as the shards turned into flowers and butterflies of ice, as Ur herself was now in a bunny suit of white ice, as she had stockings covering her legs to the mid thighs, one-piece suit and bunny ears of white ice.

The crowd was silent, until they gave enormous roars and applauses for Ur´s performance, showing the amount of love for it.

Gray were silent as he dropped his jaw to see his former master perform such a thing, while Natsu blushed for seeing Ur´s performance, which Ur herself noticed and gave Natsu a wink. "You loved it, didn't you, Natsu?" Ur thought playfully in her mind as she blinked seductively to the Pink Haired Dragon Slayer.

"That was beyond incredible! My chances of winning are beyond zero!" Lucy thought in panic, but quickly got her thoughts back together. "No, I am not going to surrender! I am going to win and that´s final!" Lucy thought with determination as Ur went back behind the stage, still in her bunny suit of ice.

"Well, that was one incredible performance, but now onto our next contestant: Lucy Heartfilia!" Max said as Lucy entered the scene in her cheerleader outfit, which consisted of a blue skirt with white lining, a blue shirt with white lines, long white socks with a blue line at the top of each sock, and red and white shoes, as well as she had her hair tied in a side ponytail to the right with a red ribbon. She also carried two golden pom poms in her hands.

"Do it Lucy! I know you can win!" Yukino shouted from the audience as she cheered for her friend.

Lucy gave a smile for Yukino´s support, but before Lucy could do or even say anything, a voice was heard.

"ENOUGH WITH THE COMPETITION, THE WINNER HAS BEEN DECIDED!" The voice was heard loud, as the crowd turned to see who spoke. "Evergreen?!" Gray said as then Evergreen turned towards Lucy. "Who are you?" Lucy asked, which Evergreen then lifted her glasses, much to Natsu´s horror. "LUCY DON'T LOOK INTO HER EYES!" Natsu shouted, but it was too late as Lucy turned into stone. "LUCY!" Screamed Natsu as he went into a rage to attack Evergreen for doing something so horrible to one of his Mates, which was stopped by a voice.

"Don't do anything rash..." Laxus said as he appeared on the stage, which then the curtains fell down, showing Bisca, Erza, Mira, Levy, Lucy, Juvia and Ur. "...or the others will be turned to dust." Laxus said as he, Evergreen, Freed, and Bickslow were together in the stage.

"LEVY!" Shouted Jet and Droy. "BISCA!" Shouted Alzack. "UR-SENSEI!" Screamed Gray.

"Laxus, what is the meaning of this?!" Makarov said with rage. "The meaning? It´s simple. It is for a declaration, which is the Declaration for the Battle of Fairy Tail!" Laxus said.

End of Chapter 23. And that´s it for chapter 23, hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter, The Battle of Fairy Tail Arc will truly begin. Well, it seems like by some chance, it maybe will be the last chapter for 2017, if it is, I write it in an announcement, and don't worry, I will continue in January. (I would also apologize for leaving it in a cliffhanger for this year). Anyway, lots of things have happened in this chapter, one of them being Mira finally becoming a part of the harem. If you liked it, please favorite, follow and review. I would like to thank altajir95 for his ideas and Omni Creator Kami of Anime for his ideas for Natsu and Mira´s lemon. For the Gajeel poll, please make sure to vote on it, as it will be closed in December 25th. If I don´t publish a chapter on December 25th, I will make an announce of the winning Element and I will also tell if this will be the last chapter of 2017 or not, but I will continue in January.
