After a while of playing pool with the boys, I walked over and joined the group on the couch. I sat down as I sighed, leaning back in defeat. "Those boys can go for a while, can't they?" I asked as Mikado turned to me. "At least it's not a video game, then you'll be at it for about a week," he said, as I cracked a smile. "Yeah. I haven't played video games since I was like five" I said, as shifting entered the room. "We can do that too if you want" Haruhi's voice yelled from the back of the room. I turned to look at him as I spoke. "No thank you. I had my butt kicked in pool too many times today" I said, as chuckling entered the room. "You did good today Iris. Shows that you played a lot" Goushi said, as I turned to him. The boys looked like they were packing up the game and turning the music down to just being low in the background. I sighed as I lied my head back on the couch. "You know, just because I'm taking a break, doesn't mean you boys have to as well," I said, as the group walked over. " We know. We've been at it for a lot longer before you came down" Yuzuki said, as he walked over by the wall. I sighed as made more room on the couch. I took a deep breath, releasing the excitement of the game that was still within me. "That was fun. We're going to have to do that again sometime" Akane said as he sat on the floor next to the tv. I nodded as I shifted to get more comfortable. "Yeah. Haven't had anything like this in a long time. The last hotel that I stayed at had a few arcade games, but nothing like that" I said, bringing back a memory from one of the hotel's that I stayed at.

"Did you ever make any friends at the hotels, Iris?" Kazuna asked as I shook my head. "I wouldn't call them friends. Just hang with people at the hotels. There was one person that figured out which room I was in and asked to do stuff. But I didn't really know them. They were just friendly" I said, as studied the floor. "But the hotel that you visited me at. My housekeeper would stay and visit me daily. She always made sure I had food and the things for me to live. Even after her shift" I said, thinking back to the moment when I left. The room fell into silence, as to no one said anything. I cracked a somewhat of a smile as I continued. "I always thanked the hotels for letting me stay when I was done. None except the last hotel understood why I was thanking them. They would just say "it's my job." But I still did it for myself. And after that, I was onto the next hotel" I said, as I thought about the situation more. At that point, I didn't know where to continue to explain.

"Did you ever tell the last hotel you were at? They seemed to know the situation" Miroku asked as I nodded. "Yeah. They asked about it when I asked for more time. So I explained the situation and they gave me a few months to get on my feet. But then I was struggling to keep a job. Everyone at that last hotel did what they could to help me out. And someday I want to try to give the money back as a way to say thank you for everything. I want to at least get on my feet first" I said, as I finally looked up at the boys. I sighed before continuing. "I'm going to look for a job when I know that I'm going to be ok," I said, more to remind myself of what I still need to do. "Don't feel like you need to rush. We're not going to kick you out" Mikado said, as I sighed. "Thanks. I just don't want to get in the way. Or be a distraction." The boys continued to study me as Akane shook his head. "You're not going to be a distraction. You're just going to be another member of the B-Pro family" he said, as the boys agreed. Imedantly after, Hikaru opened his arms wide. "Your B-Pro's little sister," he said, as both Haruhi and Yuzuki looked at him. "Technically, she's our little sister" Haruhi reminded. I silently chuckled at the comment as the conversation continued. "Let's face it. She's going to be a little sister to all of us" Kento brought up. I looked down in silence, trying not to break out in a huge burst of laughter. I sighed as I continued. "Living here is going to be more interesting than any hotel completely," I said aloud to myself.

"Well, seeing how you and Haruhi act. It'll be interesting for the rest of us too" Tomoisha said as I looked at Haruhi. "What? You missed me annoying you" he said, as I sighed. "I actually did. You learn that you miss a lot when you're living on your own. Even if you're living in a little hotel room. I know I missed living with other people. Even after mom and dad were gone" I said, feeling down about everything. I studied my hands as I thought about how I ended up at the hotel. "I tried to keep the house, but I just couldn't. I didn't want anyone to see me like that" I said as I studied my hands in silence. Yuzuki sighed as he spoke. "Iris, it's not your fault. I'm just glad you could afford hotel rooms for a while." I shook my head as I spoke. "I still became homeless. I didn't want to be begging for things. I knew you were busy and I just didn't want to get in the way" I said, as I felt tears form in my eyes. I looked down, trying to clear up my tears. I didn't want to cry in front of them. "Iris, your not getting in the way. You never got in the way" Yuzuki said, as I huffed. "I still feel like I get in the way. Even now. I know that you all tell me that it's fine. But I feel like I'm still getting in everyone's way. That's why I kept to myself most of the time."

"Iris, you're not going to get in the way. We will make sure of it" Kazuna said as I sighed. "Thanks. I appreciate it," I said, as I thought about everything. I felt a little tired, along with feeling upset. "Thanks for letting me hang with you all down here for a while. I'm going upstairs" I said, as I stood up and started to leave the room. "Wait, Iris," Haruhi said, but I ignored it. I walked out of the room as I looked back at the boys. "Night," I said as I turned and walked upstairs. "Iris, wait. Come back" Haruhi yelled but I was already out of that part of the house. I walked up into the kitchen, seeing Tsubasa sitting at the table with her computer. She looked up from reading something on the screen as she studied me. "What's wrong Iris?" she asked as I huffed. "I'm fine. Just a little tired I think. Going to bed, night" I said, as I walked down the hallway and into the guest room. I shut the door as I sat on the floor, pressing my back against the door. I looked around, still seeing everything where I left it. I rested my head on my knees, as I studied out the window. The door was closed, with sunlight shining through the window. I looked where the beam outlined the door with sunlight, then looked more outside.

I stood up as I walked over to the door, seeing the backyard all lit up by sunlight. It was a nice day outside and I could tell by the warmth of the room. I studied the backyard as it was bright and warming. I silently sat on the bed, as I studied the little table and the yard behind it. I thought about what we talked about downstairs. I felt a little tear drip down my cheek, as I started to cry. I sat on the bed, as I put my head down. A little knock came on my door as it cracked open. "Iris, can I come in?" Tsubasa asked as I whipped another tear from my eye. "Come in," I said as I turned to look outside.

The sound of the door opened up as walking came closer to the bed. The footsteps ended as the sound of the door shut. "Hey. Are you ok?" Tsubasa's voice asked as I looked at her, feeling tears roll down my face. I whipped my cheek as I nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just needed to think a bit." I said as I looked out at the yard. Tsubasa studied me with a concerned look as she spoke. "You sure you fine? Your crying. Did the boys be mean down there?" she asked as I shook my head. "No. The boys were an awesome group to hang out with," I said, as I looked out again. "Just feeling a little regret, that's all," I said, as I noticed the shaky tone in my voice. Tsubasa looked at me again as she spoke. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked, as I shrugged. "We can, but it won't change the fact that I still ended up homeless. All I had to do was call. I knew the boys were busy and I thought they didn't need a distraction right now" I said, as Tsubasa shot up in surprise. "Having you here with us isn't a distraction. Knowing that your homeless would've been more of a distraction. Your brothers were so worried when they found out. We all were" she explained as I looked at her.

The room fell into a silence as she shifted to look out at the yard. "When you gave us the address, we looked it up on my phone. We got confused when it ended up being a hotel. Then when you explained the situation, the boys and I thought that we had to do something about it. We couldn't just let you live like that" she explained as I moved to lean up against the headboard of the bed. "It just reminded me how much I really need Haruhi and Yuzuki. When I was younger, I would choose work over playing with them. Our mom used to force me to play with them. Now I understand why she did that" I said, as I looked out the window again. "I'm just now realizing that all I had to do was just make one phone call. Then none of that would've happened." Tsubasa tilted her head as she listened. "Iris, it's not your fault.  I probably would've done the same thing if I was in that position." I sighed as I looked at the floor. "I should've called them from the start. I'm also sorry for putting this all on B-Project" I said, as Tsubasa sighed. "It's ok. The boys and I don't mind it. It looks like your going to fit right in here" she said, as she gave a friendly smile. I cracked a smile but lost it completely. "I just don't want to get in the way of your work. I won't let myself get in the way. I'm going to look for a job, but right now I need to be here with all of you" I said, as Tsubasa smiled. "We're all glad you ended up coming with us. Especially Haruhi and Yuzuki" she explained. "Iris, we love you" Haruhi's voice came up through the grate. I looked at Tsubasa as she shook her head. I sighed as I spoke. "Were you boys eavesdropping in there?" I asked as he sighed. "Sorry. I couldn't help myself" he said, as I looked at Tsubasa.  The two of us burst out in laughter, as we practically fell off the bed. More walking came from the grate as another voice spoke. "Sorry girls, we're shutting the grate. That way you'll have more privacy" Kazuna's voice came from the grate, followed by the squeaking of metal. I looked at Tsubasa as she cracked a smile. "Told you they worry," she said, as I looked down at the floor.

I sighed as I studied the carpeting. "I guess they do worry. They won't have to worry anymore. I'm staying here until I'm ok. Once I know that I'm gonna be fine, I'll start job hunting. Then they won't have to worry so much anymore" I said, as I looked up at the window again.  Tsubasa looked out as she spoke. "Feel better Iris?" she asked as I nodded. "Yeah, a lot better. Thanks for talking with me about it" I said, as she smiled.  "Anytime. Come find me if you need anything and if the boys annoy you too much" she said, as she got up. "I'm gonna be in the kitchen unless you want to talk more," she said, as I shook my head. "No. I'll be fine now. Thank you" I said, as she smiled. "Anytime," she said, as she left the room. I looked back out the window as I lied on the bed and slowly fell asleep for the night.
