I was sound asleep, almost into a dream as I heard a voice off in the distance. "Iris," it said, as it drifted into the air then fell silent again. I was starting to see the light through my eye lids, brighting the darkness into a bright red. I felt something on my shoulder as the voice spoke again. "Iris, you up?" it spoke again as the red turned into black. "Is she even alive right now?" a second voice asked, as the air fell silent. "She's alive. She told us she didn't sleep good" the first voice said, as something was placed on my shoulder. "Iris. You awake?" it asked as I took a deep breath. " You might have to carry her" a third voice said as I opened my eyes finally. I saw Haruhi and Yuzuki in front of me, with Mikado and Hikaru in the seats behind me. I opened my eyes completely as Hikaru's face lid up. "SHE LIVES!" he cheered. I moaned awake as I rubbed the rest of the sleep out of my eyes. "Get enough sleep? Or did you hear yelling the whole time?" Mikado asked as I yawned. "I didn't even hear you. Some yelling but I think I was waking up at that point" I said, as my voice sounded gravely. Haruhi looked at the two of them as he spoke. "Told you she sleeps in the car" he said, as I took a stretch. "I slept better in the car than I did at the hotel" I said with a yawn. When I was completely awake, I looked around the bus, seeing it totaly empty, not even Tsubasa was in the bus at this point. "Where is everyone?" I asked, as Mikado sat down. "They took all the luggage and went inside. We stayed out here to make sure you didn't wake up and thought we left you" he said, as Haruhi spoke."I wanted to carry you, but you kept elbowing me when I tried" he said, as I chuckled. "Yeah, at that point your better off leaving me alone" I said, as I managed to stand up finally. "You ready to go inside? Maybe the outside will wake you up" Yuzuki said, as I nodded. "Yeah. I am" I said, as I stood up and got out of the seat. I looked around in confusion, not noticing any of my bags near me. "I told Akane to bring your bags into the back room. Just to make it one less thing to carry" Yuzuki said, as I sighed. "Thanks. Even though I didn't have a lot" I said, as I finally mannaged to walk out of the row. I followed Haruhi and Yuzuki as we exited the bus. The moment that I took my first step outside, a cold, awakening breeze hit me.

I jolted awake from it as I was now more focused on what I was doing. Haruhi got in front of me as he spoke. "Good morning. Awake more?" he chuckled as I pushed him away a bit. "You have too much energy right now" I said, with a chuckle. Haruhi sighed as he slouched. "I'm sorry Iris. It's just nice to know we're living together again. It's starting to feel like we're little again" he said, as I sighed. I gave Haruhi a hug, then Yuzuki one. "What was that for?" Haruhi asked as I chuckled. "Because your a dork" I said, as I spoke silently but he could still hear me. "She's right" he said, as I smiled. Mikado pulled the attenion towards him as he spoke. "Should we go inside?" he asked, as I nodded. "Yeah. But leave Haruhi out here" I said, as Haruhi turned to me. "Iris is just afraid that I will be imabrrassing" he said, as I spoke. "If that was the case, I would've mentined something at the motel" I said, as Hikaru chuckled. "Are you three always like this?" he asked as Yuzuki sighed. "This is not even it." Tsubasa chuckled as she spoke. "Then you might fit in well with the boys and their craziness" she said, as I turned to her. "That might be a problem for you then" I said, as she smiled. "Just a lot of laughing for me then. Trust me, get to know the rest of B-project. You'll eventually see what I mean" she said, as I turned to her. "How can you deal with all fifteen of them?" I asked as she sighed. "It's hard. Really hard. But I manage" she said, as I smiled. I walked up to her as the boys started for the door. "Well, your not alone now. I'll help out the best that I can. Until I find a job" I said, as she smiled. "It's going to be nice to have you around. Gives me someone to talk to and help me control these boys" she said, as Haruhi looked at us. "What are you talking about? Once Iris get's a job, she's going to be nothing but work" he said, as I sighed. "He does have a point" I said, with a slight huff. I looked down then back up again. "But I'm not going to do that again. Unless you get really busy" I said, as Haruhi opened the door and we entered the building.

The house was huge. We walked into a big livingroom with a conjoined kitchen farther away from the door. A huge sofa and chair set sat on the back wall, with the tv on the opposite wall in the center. The kitchen was huge, with a long counter and island in the middle. In front of the door was a staircase that climed to a second floor, which turned into a hallway that led down to the right. Behind the stairs on the first floor was a second hallway, that drifted off to the right as well. I looked around in awe as Tsubasa shut the door behind me. Haruhi walked up to me as he spoke. "So, what do you think?" he asked as I sighed. "Nice place you guys have" I said, as I looked around in awe. Haruhi pulled me more into the room as he spoke. "Follow me. I want to show you your room" he said, as I sighed. "I thought you said I was sleeping on the couch?" I asked as he turned to me. "You will be, but we have a couch out in the spare room" he said, as he walked down the hallway behind the staircase. I looked at Yuzuki as he started to walk toward the hallway. Mikado sighed as he spoke. "The back room is like a second livingroom. It's also soundproof a bit. We wouldn't make you sleep out here. It'll be louder than the hotel" he said as I nodded. "Well, I appreciate that" I said, as Haruhi peeked his head through. "Iris. Come on" he said, as Mikado turned to him. "Sorry, I'm holding her up" he said, as I sighed. "It's fine. My brothers can wait a bit" I said, as he chuckled. "Not when their this excited" he said, as I sighed. "This is true" I said as Haruhi sighed. "I will start whining" he said, as I started to follow.

I followed him into the hallway that cut through the kitchen. It turned out to be a regular hallway with about three doors, all spaced out evenly. "So I guess you all sleep upstairs?" I asked as Haruhi turned to me. "Us boys do. Tsubasa sleeps in the room next to yours. It's more silent down here" Haruhi explained as Tsubasa's door opened and she walked out. "Sometimes the boys get loud, but a lot of them sleep when we're home. So the house is silent for the most part" she said with a smile. "You must enjoy that" I said as she shrugged. "Depends on if I'm working or not. Sometimes I bring work home" she said, as I nodded. "I can understand parcally. Sometimes the neibors in the rooms around mine were loud at the hotel." We ended up stopping at a room that was down the hallway. It was across from a small bathroom on the first floor. Haruhi sighed as he turned to me. "You ready for this?" he asked, as I nodded. "Ready when you are" I said, as he nodded. "Come on in" he said, as he opened the door and we entered a medium sized room. The walls were a light brown with a nice carpeting that looked a bit tannish. There was a bed in the corner, sitting in front of a big window that extended across the whole wall. A little desk and birror sat on the opposite side of the wall, next to the door. A flat screen tv sat on the birror like in the hotel, directly in front of the bed. I walked into the room more as I turned to the wall by the door, seeing a big walk-in closet which was empty at the moment.

I dropped the bag in my hand as I looked around more. "Wow. This is nicer than the hotel room" I said, amaized of how nice it looked. It looked like they were planning on this for weeks. Tsubasa smiled as she spoke. "Glad you like it. It's our guest bedroom. The boys didn't think you should sleep on the couch" she said, as I turned to her. "Either way would've worked. I planned on sleeping on the couch" I said, as she chuckled. "That was the plan because the room was full of equpment, but we cleaned it out before our tour. So they changed their minds" she said, as I sighed. "Well, I apprciate this. Thank you" I said, as Haruhi grabbed my attention. "You even get your own private deck" he said, as I turned to him. He slid one of the windows open as he stepped out on a little deck. I followed him as I stepped outside.

The deck was just a little cemented area. A little table and chair set sat next to the door on the left, just enough that part of it was shadded and part was in the sun. Near the door was shadded, due to a little balcony on the second floor.  I stepped more into the sun as I looked above to the second balcony. It was a little bit smaller, with a few lounge chairs and a little table.  A little slidding door was in the back of it, showing what looked like a game room. Haruhi sighed as he spoke. "The sad thing about the deck is it's right under our's. So it might be a little loud at times" he said, with guilt planted on his face. I cracked a smile as I spoke. "That's ok. Sounds like a good place to eavesdrop at times" I said, with a smile.  Haruhi sighed as he spoke. "Why did I get a feeling that she was going to say that?" he asked as Yuzuki shrugged. Tsubasa chuckled next to them in silence. The boys sighed as they looked around. "Alright. I think we shown you everything that I can think of" Haruhi said as Yuzuki jolted. "Do you want to show Iris basement?" he asked as Haruhi turned to him. "Oh, that's where I wanted to show her," he said as he turned to me. "Iris, follow us.  Got one more room to show you" he said as he turned to walk out of the room.

I followed them back out to the living room as we walked through the house. Haruhi turned to me as he spoke. "This is our favorite room in the house" he said, as I followed them to the corner and up to a little door.  "Half of B-project is probably down here," Yuzuki said as he chuckled.  The boys opened the door as they started to walk down a flight of stairs. The stairway was a little dark, with carpeted stairs going down.  I followed the boys without any questions, walking right behind them. Music was playing through the walls, but I could barely hear it.  "Is this room like muffled?" I asked, noticing the carpeting on the walls. "We used to practice down here, but we turned it into a lounge. We even get Tsubasa to come down here too" Yuzuki said, as I turned to her. She smiled as she spoke. "We have fun down here. I join in most of the times, but sometimes I just watch." Haruhi opened the door as I followed him, with Yuzuki and Tsubasa behind me.  My jaw dropped when I saw it.   A huge room with games like pool and ping-pong everywhere in the back. In the front of the room had a couple of couches that sat in a big u, with a patted coffee table in the middle, the same length of the couch. Directly in front of it on the opposite side was a huge fireplace, with a big flat screen tv mounted above it.  I walked into the room hearing the noise and seeing the rest of B-project playing pool in the back.  I focused on the music as I listened to the words. "Listening to Thrives?" I asked, recognizing the song. Tsubasa nodded as she spoke. "It's one of the first songs they ever wrote," she said as I nodded. 

Our attention was pulled when Akane yelled from the back. "Haruhi, Yuzuki, come join us. We need even teams. Moons going down," he said as Haruhi sighed. "Be right there," he said as he started to walk off.  Yuzuki turned to me as he spoke. "You want to play with us?" he asked as I shook my head. "No. You go have fun. I'm going to unpack a bit" I said as he nodded. "Alright, come down if you're bored," he said as he wrapped his arms around me. "Welcome home Iris," he said in my ear so only I can hear it. He pulled away from me as he went to join the rest of B-project.  I looked at Tsubasa as I spoke. "I'm going to unpack," I said, as she turned to me. "Want some help?" she asked as I sighed. "Not really. But your welcome to come to hang with me if you want" I said, as she nodded. "Ok," she said as we left the loud room and went upstairs.
