{yume#1 chapter 12.2: tokyo dome..MC}

"Hey, Yo Tokyooooo!!!!"  Sho greeted.  Fans cheered and greeted back happily. "Oi! Thanks for coming to see us! We're Arashi, douzo yoroshiku"
He bowed with the rest and there was a hum heard throughout the dome.
"So I heard that your personal assistant is sick today, Sho-kun" Nino asked.
"Sou desu ne...she called in sick today and I've had to do a lot today but that's okay.  She needed rest." the rapper nodded.
"Naruhodo" Ohno nodded then smiled as Jun whispered something to him.
"Ne Sho-kun, why don't we ask help from someone here?" Jun winked at Aiba.
"I'll help you Sho-chan!" The tallest Arashi member raised his hand and jumped up and down excitedly.  A lot of the fans squealed at the thought but Sho just chuckled at the suggestion.
"Not you, baka!" Nino hit him on the head.
"Ehhh?!  Nande?" the tall man wanted to know, he looked like he was about to sulk.
Nino was about to launch a tirade but Sho intervened," ...Because you'll need to do things too Aiba-chan.  I don't want to be a burden to you ne."
He then hugged his friend, causing the dome to let out ecstatically, seeing them close like that.
"Ohmigod!  I have to document this!!" Katz took out her phone and took a picture of the big screen. "Yosh"

The two tall men let go of each other and smiled.  It was all part of the plan but what caught Sho off guard was Nino's next statement.
"Ne why dont' we ask for help from your fans, Sho-kun?" the gamer winked at Jun.  He was in the loop and their rapper was really surprised at the turn of events.  In any case, a tremble can be heard throughout the dome because of the suggestion.  Jamie was aghast at the thought.  A fan?  Able to touch a Johnny's idol?  This isn't happening.  
"Yosh!" Jun said. "All Sakurai Sho fans in red please stand up."
And like obedient students a lot of fans stood up, most of them squealing in delight.  Aiba was jumping in excitement, as if he knew what the outcome.
"Now all those carrying uchiwas please remain standing, the others please be seated.  Thank you so much." the youngest Arashi member said as some fans sat down, depleting the number of those still squealing.  Annie noticed that M.A.D. came out with other Johnny's juniors, she just smiled knowingly as they spread out and started checking the uchiwas.
"Mou...still a lot ne Riida?" Jun put his arm around over the older one's shoulder.
"Sou desu ne..we have to fix that..." the older man said looking up at Jun.  Their faces dangerously near one another making everyone squeal in delight, Jamie included.  She grabbed Annie's hand and squeezed it as she shouted over the din to Katz,"Are you getting this Kathy?"
"Oh yes I most certainly am..." trying tom contain her emotions and a steady hand to capture the moment.
"OI!!"  Get your hands off my Oh-chan!" Nino cried, striding over to them and pulled the other half of OhMiya SK away from their youngest member.  Jun just shrugged, smiled and winked at the audience.  The whole scene inciting loud screams that Aiba needed to be loud himself.
"Ne..ne..ne..ne..ne!  You all do that later...can't I just help Sho-chan instead?" Aiba asked loudly.
"NO!" all the other three said in unison.
"This really isn't necessary guys.." Sho started
"And what?  You tripping all over yourself backstage?" Nino smirked.
"Sou desu ne" Jun agreed.  Now they wer ganging up on him.
"But...was this approved?" Sho asked.
"YES!" all four replied at the same time.  Sho couldn't believe it was but nobody was stopping them yet so it must be true.
"Well..how do we choose from these lovely ladies?" Jun asked.
"Anou~ why don't we keep those with the old uchiwas?" Aiba suggested.
"How old is OLD?" Sho wanted to know.
"Anou~ those older than our How's it going? concert in 2003...would that be ok?" Aiba said.
"Etoooo~" Sho started as MAD came up with only ten fans with old uchiwas.  Most of them were home-made and one bought from the concert that night.  Jamie was being approached by Tanaka Juri, a cute little thing.  He was trying to get her to go with him on stage but she was refusing politely since she didn't stand anyway.  Katz took the uchiwa she was holding and went with the kid and whispered something in his ear.  The little one nodded and smiled as they went towards the main stage where most of the other nine fans and Arashi were standing.  Sho scanned the girls' uchiwas and saw that the oldest one was his Johnny's junior uchiwa, he was trying not to laugh.
"It seems that we have found the girl who will help you Sho-kun" Ohno said.
"Sou desu ne..." the rapper said, chuckling at the uchiwa.
"Anou~ the rest of the girls, we thank you for being here and please do enjoy the rest of the night" Jun said as MAD and the juniors escorted the girls back to their seats.  Kathy's heart was beating pretty fast as she stood in front of him.  The man she only dreamed of seeing from afar was in front of him now.  And at arms reach at that, she took a few deep breaths before she had the courage to look up at him.
"Anou~ hajimemashite!" Sho greeted her with a nod, if he recognized her, he didn't show it.
"H-hajimemashite" she said clearly into the microphone handed to her.
"Onamae wa?"
"Kathy desu"
"It seems you have the oldest uchiwa here tonight ne" Jun said.
The girl was about to reply when Sho turned and asked " Do I really have to do this?"
"Its for your own good ne" Nino said patting his friend's shoulder and smiling at the girl, who was getting giddy as the moments passed by.
"Kuso.." he murmured, he wasn't good at these things.  He turned back to the girl and smiled.
"Anou~ this isn't mine really...this is my friend's uchiwa." she explained.
"Ah..sou desu ne...is she shy?" Sho was interested.
"Ahh...very shy" she tried not to giggle.
"So you're not my fan?" he pouted.
"Ah..I am." she protested
"Yokatta!" his smile made her heart skip a beat but she didn't falter.
"Anou~ you should go and get her over there" the petite girl pointed to where Jamie sat.  The girl had already pulled with her hoodie over her head, not wanting to be seen.
"Well, lead me to her then, Kathy-san.  You come with me Nino" the gamer followed them to the side of the walkway they use and Sho was surprised at who he saw.  The well hidden surprise was received with a wink or a waive from Annie and the other girls in their group.  He remembered who the girl beside him was.  He almost forgot to talk as Nino scanned the scene, also seeing Annie and waiving back then at the other fans in general.  His eye caught the girl in front of him.  A girl in yellow, blushing beautifuly.  He had to drag his eyes away from her hesitantly to speak.
"Anou~ Kathy-san, where is your friend?" he asked, his gaze lingering on the girl in yellow.  He just had to smile again.
"Ah..she's over there..covering her face.." the petite girl said pointing to the girl in a black hoodie.  The spotlight hit the girl she pointed to and Jamie just covered her face.  Annie was trying to get her to look but she won't budge and just shrugged.
"Arigatou for taking me to her, Kathy-san.  May I hold that uchiwa please?" Sho bowed and the girl did the same before returning to her seat beside Jamie.
"Anou..what's her name Sho-kun?" Nino was curious but was actually looking at the girl in front of Jamie but the girl wasn't looking back but just looking at her hands.  Sho on the other hand knew who it was and was confused if he was going to call her name or not.  Or go on with this prank by Matsujun.  He was really going to get it from him later.  Thankfully, Jamie took her hands away from her flushed face, Sho's heart skipped a beat when he saw her blushing like that.  He was glad that after tonight, she was going to stay for a bit longer.  He smiled up at her and stretched out his hand for her to take.  She was hesistant in going but her friends and the other fans encouraged her.  To them it was a chance of a lifetime to touch his hand.  If they only knew, she smiled as she stood up to take his hand.  She stepped onto the walkway where they performed.
"Anou~ Onamae wa?" Sho wanted to laugh at that question but he knew they had to pretend.
"J-jamie desu." she said softly into the microphone that Katz used earlier, she didn't want to look up at him.  She was afraid of what they might give away.
"Hajimemashite, Jamie-san.  Anou~ so this uchiwa is yours ne?" He asked, wanting to touch her face and make her look into his eyes but he had to restrain himself.  Nino sensing something, turned away from the pretty girl and saw Sho's hand gripping the uchiwa.
"Hajimemashite" Jamie bowed awkwardly and smiled at Nino who bowed and mumbled the greeting back.
"Ah..Jamie-san.  How did you get this uchiwa?  Have you been Sho's fan since his junior days?" Nino asked out of curiosity.
"Ah..iie..  Jun-bait desu." she explained, Sho's face fell even if he knew the whole story already, he had to look like he didn't know her.  The rapper had asked her that so many times and was amused at her story.  But when he asked her about her family, she clammed up.
"Ahhhh...so you liked Matsujun first?" Nino smirked as her asked.
"Hai, but I got this uchiwa online.  Someone sold it to me." she said
"May we ask how much?" Nino, ever the stingy one
"Ah...sumimasen..I'd rather not say" the girl said
"Ah..sou desu ka.  But would you help Sho-kun here please?  He has no assistant backstage and he's quite slow when he is alone" the gamer was asking Jamie.
"Etooo~"
"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu" the gamer bowed as their rapper did the same.
Jamie sighed before answering," Hai.  Yoroshiku na"
Sho and Nino looked up happily.  Sho pumped his fist in the air, pursing his lips, glad that he was able to convince her to join their madness.  He lead Jamie to the main stage.  Nino didn't want to leave but he had to go back to the others.  He wondered who she was.  The pretty, olive-skinned girl with lovely black hair and pretty eyes.  He'll never get the chance to meet her, he sighed and waived before running after Jamie and Sho, who went past the others.  Sho was steering her towards the backstage.
"Oi! Where are you taking the girl, you hentai?!" Jun asked after them.  The couple was almost at the stairs going down to the dressing room when Sho stopped short and faced Jun with a furrowed brow.
"OI! Don't call me like that in front of a girl!" Sho was a bit flustered at being called that in front of Jamie.  The fans watching were laughing at the scene unfolding in front of them. "I'm just taking her down to the dressing room.  She needs to be told what to do deshou?  Will Kaori-san be able to help her?"
Jun nodded,"Hai, my assistant is there.  Mou..that still isn't the point.  The others haven't met her properly yet"
Their youngest strode over and stood in between Sho and Jamie, taking the girl's hand.
"Hajimemashite, Matsujun desu" the young man said as he shook her hand, she obliged and smiled back.  Sho put his arm around the girl's shoulder and took her away," Matta ne.. I need her right now ne..I'll be right back...ja.."
Sho waived as he took his arm away from the girl and disappeared down the stairs.  The crowd cheered and laughed at what happened.  They could hear Aiba saying," Mah...there will be a new scandal now...Arashi's Sakurai Sho, stuck in dressing room with fanl!"  The fans laughed with him.  Sho chuckled himself as he took Jamie's hand, leading her to the dressing room.
