A few days after the events of chapter 14, Ginji was in school walking to his locker when he saw Bailey next to his locker, which made him smile. Ginji wore a white zip up hoodie with the hood on his hood, over a grey t-shirt, black pants and white sneakers while Bailey wore a black shirt under a panda themed hoodie, blue jeans, and black shoes. Ginji walked to his locker and said,"Hey babe."

Bailey looked at Ginji and said,"Hey dorkling." with a smile before she kissed Ginji lovingly. The two pulled away from each other then Ginji said,"Ooh, you usually don't want to use tongue until after lunch." with a smile.

"Well that was before someone told me he loved me and took my virginity.",Bailey said in a somewhat suggestive tone.

"Hey, let's not forget that someone told me that she loved me and took my virginity.",Ginji said while getting closer to Bailey. The teens then kissed again and began making out, with Ginji pulling Bailey closer to him and Bailey putting her arms around Ginji's neck. The two giggled in excitement then Bailey said,"Okay, maybe we should stop before."

"We start doing it in the middle of the hallway.",Ginji said with a smirk. Bailey nodded while biting her lip then she said,"Let's get to class, and then let's go to your place after school."

"I can get down with that.",Ginji said while grinning. He and Bailey then kissed passionately before walking to their class together, with Ginji putting his arm over Bailey's shoulders and Bailey put her arm around Ginji's waist.

Somewhere else in the city, Spade was walking by herself while sipping her brew then she noticed Denji was sitting on a park bench watching children play. Spade wore an oversized green jacket over a black and pink bikini top, blue jean shorts, and her flip flops. Denji wore a dark grey t-shirt under a black jacket, black leggings, and grey running shoes. Spade moved her sunglasses down while saying,"Ooh, there's my future lady." and walking towards Denji.

Denji sighed then she groaned when Spade sat next to her and said,"Sup Denji."

"Why are you here to interrupt my peace?",Denji groaned

"Because, I wanna be the one who gives you peace.",Spade said with a smile. Denji was confused by this then she said,"Well, if you want to do that; it will require you to be less annoying among other things."

"Like what other thing?",Spade asked genuinely wanting to know. Denji looked at Spade and said,"Well, you could wear actual clothes for once."

Spade nodded then said,"Okay. I'll be right back." before she jumped over the bench and ran away from Denji. Denji had a confused look on her face then she rolled her eyes and went back to what she was doing.

At Ace and Kris' condo, Kris was currently cleaning when Spade came into the condo and said,"Hey Krissy, I need some of my brothers clothes." while going to Ace and Kris' room. Kris looked at Spade and said,"Why?"

"Because it's the only way I can get Denji to talk to me.",Spade said while rummaging through Ace's closet. Kris raised an eyebrow then said,"Denji?"

Spade came out of Kris and Ace's room, now wearing a checkered blue button up shirt which she kept open, blue jeans which she had torn the lower legs off of to make into shorts, and her flip flops. Spade smiled then said,"How do I look Krissy?"

"Uh, you look good. Could you explain why you're acting like this Spade.",Kris questioned.

"No time sister from another mister, I gots to go get me a lady.",Spade said as she left the condo. Kris scratched her head and had a confused expression on her face then Ace walked into the room and said,"Was that Spade I heard in here?"

"Yeah, she took some of your clothes so she could talk to Denji.",Kris said, still attempting to figure out the situation. Ace nodded then said,"She goes through some lengths to get what she wants, especially if it's someone she likes."

"I can tell.",Kris said before she went back to cleaning.

Back in the park, Denji had gotten up and was walking away from the bench she was at when Spade ran up to her and said,"Hey, hey. Where are you going?"

"You came back?",Denji questioned.

"Yeah. This time, with clothes.",Spade while smiling and gesturing to her attire. Denji blinked then she said,"You actually went and put on clothes, although you didn't cover up much."

"Yeah I put on clothes but I couldn't let it cover my skin. Anyway, will you give me a chance now, please please please.",Spade said, getting on her knees and clasping her hands together when pleading. Denji looked at Spade with genuine confusion then she sighed and said,"Fine, I will give you a chance. What that chance is for, I don't know."

Spade fist pumped then she stood up and said,"C'mon." while grabbing Denji's hand and pulling her along. Denji was stunned by this and asked,"Where are you taking me?!"

"I'm taking you somewhere fun. Don't worry, you'll love it then you'll love me.",Spade said with joy. Denji was in complete shock but went along with Spade.

At Ginji's school, Ginji and Bailey were sitting in the gym alone while talking. Bailey looked at Ginji then said,"So what's it like having Ace and Kris as your parents now?"

"It's great. I mean, it feels right. They love me unconditionally, let me be myself and other cool things. They also discipline me in different way than Jun or my mom did.",Ginji said with a smile.

"Really, how?",Bailey questioned.

"Like, remember when we skipped school those two times?",Ginji started, to which Bailey nodded as a response. "Well as punishment for doing those, Kris had me was the van, clean the entire condo and her lab while Ace made me do fifty backflips. Five sets of ten."

"Ooh, that sounds a bit harsh.",Bailey said.

"It was but I'm okay with it. I mean, they're doing more to raise me than Jun ever did plus I know they mean well.",Ginji said with a small smile. Bailey faked being surprised as she said,"Oh my god. Is Ginji Ikeda not being a hot head for once? He must be getting sick, someone call a doctor."

Ginji and Bailey began laughing together before Ginji put his hand on Bailey's and said,"You've changed since we met."

"How so?",Bailey asked.

"Well for one you don't get pissed at the sight of me. Two, you're happier with me than anyone else and three, you're not trying to kick my ass every five minutes.",Ginji said. Bailey playfully slapped Ginji's arm then said,"Hey,I only did those things because you annoyed me and I liked you. Also you forgot the fourth thing, I love you."

Bailey then kissed Ginji softly and he kissed her back. Both teens pulled away from each other and stared into each other's eyes and chuckled.

Meanwhile, Denji and Spade were in a club sitting at the bar. Spade was smiling widely then she looked at Denji and said,"You enjoying yourself?"

Denji looked at Spade then said,"Not really. I don't understand why you humans engage in this, dancing nonsense."

Spade chuckled then said,"Because it's fun plus it helps people get attracted to you. Come on I'll show you." before she grabbed Denji's hand and lead her to the dance floor. Spade began dancing and Denji stared at her, let out a brief chuckle, then Spade said,"Come on, try it."

Denji rolled her eyes then began dancing along with Spade, with Spade smiling and saying,"That's it honey, strut yo stuff."

After a few minutes, the DJ put on a slow song and Denji looked around then said,"What kind of song is this?"

"This is a slow song. You dance slowly to it, like this.",Spade said while getting closer to Denji and putting her hands in Denji's. The two began to slow dance and Denji easily picked it up. She then looked Spade in the eyes to see Spade looking at her with desire and want. Spade smiled then put her arms around Denji's neck while Denji put her hands on Spade's waist. The two looked into each other's eyes for as long as they were dancing then Denji cleared her throat and said,"Uh, we should be on our way." before she grabbed Spade's hand and they went to the exit.

Outside, Denji let out a sigh of relief then Spade said,"You okay Denji?"

"I'm fine. It's just incredibly hot in there.",Denji said while taking off her jacket. Spade raised an eyebrow then she said,"It wasn't that hot in there. I mean I was also hot but that's because I'm with you so."

"What are you prattling about?",Denji said while still trying to catch her breath.

"I'm trying to say that when I'm with you, I get all hot and bothered. Plus like I get hot because I'm trying to impress you.",Spade admitted nonchalantly. Denji blushed then said,"Why would you want to impress me?"

"Because I like you, duh.",Spade said while having a dumb smile and moving back and forth on her feet. Denji's eyes widened then she said,"Oh, I've uh. I've never had anyone like me before."

"Really? Even as a Novis?",Spade questioned. Denji hesitantly nodded then said,"My family only ever engaged in things like marriage to preserve our bloodline. I was never allowed to engage in relationships that were not related to my work."

"Wow, that sucks. Well, let us be the first non work relationship and first romantic relationship for you.",Spade said with a smile.

"Romantic?",Denji questioned. Spade nodded and Denji looked at the woman before rolling her eyes and saying,"Alright. I will allow this."

Spade fist pumped then she went to kiss Denji, only to have Denji grab her face and say,"Don't get carried away. You must earn a kiss from me."

"Aw what. Why I gotta do that?",Spade said in a childish and disappointed tone.

"Because, I find that depriving someone of what they want most, is the fastest way to make them yours.",Denji said in a seductive tone before walking away from Spade. Spade blinked several times then said,"This girl is my soulmate. Thank you god." before she followed Denji. Denji chuckled then she said,"By the way, I noticed that your tattoo is on your forearm. Have you had any luck finding Edartech?"

"Nuh-uh. I actually forgot about finding him till you said that.",Spade admitted. Denji groaned then said,"You're an idiot." while walking faster. Spade followed Denji while saying,"Hey, wait up."

At Ace and Kris' condo, Vakreen was over and he and Ace were talking while playing chess. Ace moved a piece then said,"So how goes things with the Novis?"

"They're going rather well actually. It would appear that many Novi didn't take to Rei's philosophy and are happy to have someone like me in power.",Vakreen said. Ace smirked then said,"I'm happy to hear that mate. Means that one day Novi and humans can live together in peace."

"That it does. However there's still one person that must be taken care of. Tyrakin.",Vakreen said.

"Your right. Though I have to ask, do you think he'll try to pick up where Rei left off?",Ace said.

"No. My father only cares about one thing and that is strength. However in saying that, it makes me think that he will do his best to fight anyone he thinks is stronger than him.",Vakreen said. Ace nodded then said,"Only person that could stronger than him now is Ginji or you right?"

"Exactly. It means he will come after one of us eventually, most likely Ginji.",Vakreen said.

"Why Ginji?",Ace asked.

"Because he knows that he can easily provoke Ginji to fight unlike myself. He'll do this by,",Vakreen said.

"Reminded Ginji of the fact that he knows who killed his mother.",Ace said while contemplating. Vakreen looked at Ace then said,"Exactly. My father will use that to make Ginji fight him, knowing Ginji wants to avenge our mother."

Ace nodded then said,"How long do you think it'll be till Tyrakin makes a move?"

"That I cannot say with certainty, Ace. We will sadly have to wait for events to unfold.",Vakreen said while taking Ace's queen, leaving only their kings on the board.
