Chapter One Hundred Forty-Five: Sentimental Rubbish
Naruto had to put away his book when the first guests arrived. Sasuke had made clear that everyone was invited, and a lot of people had accepted the invitation, not only men, but also a couple of lesbian women. Naruto was drowned in embraces and kisses and small presents. He soon felt as if he was in some kind of trance, no longer realizing whom he kissed and embraced, just enjoying the love everyone showed to him. After the first glass of champagne he switched to orange juice, realizing that he was a bit tipsy from only one glass of champagne, but also drunk with happiness.
When the first wave of guests had taken possession of the room the DJ began to play, and people began to dance. The man who had last wished Naruto a happy birthday led him to some empty spot in the middle of the room to dance with him, and when the dance was over Naruto started moving from one partner to the next. Even the women danced with him, some of the lesbians insisting on leading him as they had never learnt to follow. Some of his classmates had arrived now too, and they also wanted to dance with him, but only the girls. The people from the riverside did not dance. They explained that in their eyes a series of pre-arranged movements had nothing to do with dancing. To them, dancing meant to express freely what you felt while you listened to the music. They admitted however that Naruto danced well and that he was a pleasure to watch.
“You improvise a bit, don't you?” they asked.
“Normally I don't when I dance with strangers,” Naruto replied. “Only when they make mistakes and I have to make up for them. When I dance with Sasuke we sometimes improvise, but then we are able to respond to each other's improvised steps. We're both fighters, and fighters have to move in unforeseen ways, and they need to defend themselves against unforeseen attacks.”
His friends looked confused, but Naruto did not care. It had suddenly occurred to him that he had not seen Sasuke for quite some time. He got nervous – he still was not able to cope with not knowing where Sasuke was, even though he knew that his nervousness was irrational as Sasuke must be somewhere in the building. At least he knew now how to find him: he asked the husband of the guy from Earth Country for information.
“He'll be back soon,” the man answered. “You don't follow each other to the bathroom, do you?”
“We don't, but normally we inform each other when we have to go. Also he has been absent for quite a while now, hasn't he?”
“There's a reason. You'll see.”
Another surprise, Naruto thought, then he saw Sasuke enter through one of the side doors. He had dressed up as a girl, mostly by using a lot of make-up, and instead of making his hair stand up with gel he was wearing a hairband to keep it down.
He did not wear an evening gown as Naruto had done during his crossdressing adventures, only a blouse and a short, narrow skirt with tights, and though his shoes were very feminine they were no high heels. He had not stuffed out his hips, he had been modest with artificial breasts, and his body did not look like a woman's at all, but his face did. It was obvious that he felt extremely embarrassed about his looks and that he was glad when Naruto approached him.
“You're so pretty,” Naruto said, caressing Sasuke's cheeks. “But you're pretty when you're dressed as a boy too. You're prettiest without any clothes at all.”
Sasuke stiffened and tensed, but when Naruto kissed him he softened again. He felt safer with Naruto at his side.
“Everyone has danced with me except you,” Naruto said. “So now I won't let you go again.”
Sasuke nodded. He too longed to dance with Naruto.
“I'll lead,” Naruto said. “That goes for granted when you are dressed up as a girl.”
“I'll lead,” Sasuke replied. “I always lead. Also we still need to practise our sequences.”
Naruto knew he had to give in. Dressing up as a girl had been a huge step for Sasuke, and he had done it to do him a favour. He was extremely cute, he thought. Other people were of the same opinion: they approached them to compliment Sasuke on his looks:
“You're really beautiful,” they said. “If I were straight I'd fall in love with you.”
They kissed Sasuke on his cheeks and Sasuke had to play along, even though he felt extremely uncomfortable. He was glad when they could start to dance. He offered his left hand to Naruto, Naruto laid his right hand into it, and then he led him into the rumba. Slowly he started to feel at ease again: this was how he enjoyed dancing, being in charge and doing his best to lead in a gentle and responsible way so that Naruto could show off his beauty and his extroversion. Later, when they had a break between dances and talked to people again, he also discovered that after some initial stupid remarks people treated him as they always did, and that they still respected him as the one who was in charge of the party.
“I have dressed up for you, not for anyone else,” he told Naruto.
“You did well,” Naruto answered. He considered how much Sasuke had changed: how he had softened, how he had learnt to give himself in love and when they were dancing, but also how he had remained himself, strong and courageous. He thought of him lying spread out on their bed ready to receive him as his lover, he considered how Sasuke had turned out to be gentle and caring when he was the active partner. His heart warmed, and he felt aroused just by thinking of Sasuke. He embraced Sasuke and felt how he relaxed in his arms (he had still felt tense from his uncertainty in women's clothes) and how he then got active again, returning Naruto's caresses.
The artificial breasts got in their way, and Naruto removed them. It involved taking off Sasuke's shirt, which was a bit audacious even on an occasion as this one. It made Sasuke look really weird with his hairband and all his make-up and his very masculine body, but they did not care. For some time they embraced and kissed, forgetting the people around them.
They were interrupted by a voice from the stage:
“As some of you may know Naruto has been a member of our band for quite some time now. He's our frontman and singer, and also he normally does the talking and announces the songs we play. He enjoys being in the spotlight, and talking to the audience is the essence of his life. The rest of us are rather shy, so we are grateful that Naruto does the talking, but now I have to speak, as Naruto cannot speak on his own birthday. So I ask you to excuse any deficiencies from my side as I'm not used to speaking in public.”
Naruto wondered what would follow.
“So as it's Naruto's birthday today we're going to play for him. Sasuke, his boy-friend, whom you can see next to our birthday child, kissing him – oh, now they've stopped – has given us some sheet music with Naruto's favorite songs, the ones he sings in the shower when no one is listening. Now he shall sing them for all of you, and we will accompany him.”
“What? You arranged this?” Naruto said, kissing Sasuke, not caring that just at this moment everyone was watching them.
“Go ahead!” Sasuke said. “They are waiting for you.”
The band had brought Naruto's guitar. Naruto needed the sheet music even though it were songs he sang under the shower: he tended to forget the text. He felt extremely moved: these were the songs he loved best, even though most people in Music Town did not consider them real music. The man who had spoken took counsel with him, explaining to him where he had to start (though this was also in the notes), then the band began to play. Naruto fell in: he was not used to being accompanied with these songs, but it was absolutely great: as if the instruments were carrying his voice. With the first verse he was still uncertain, but then he put his whole heart into the second verse.
Sasuke stood up in order to be better able to listen. (He had put on his shirt again, but not the artificial breasts.) Kakashi appeared next to him, followed by Karin, much to Sasuke's surprise. From the other side the guy from Earth Country approached them.
“I had no idea that Naruto had such a talent,” Kakashi said. “This is just wonderful. I've never been touched by music in such a way. Now I understand why you like it here: if this is what you learn in Music Town.”
“Most importantly we've learnt to dance,” Sasuke said.
“I saw that,” Kakashi replied. “It looks interesting.”
“They are extremely good at it,” the guy from Earth Country said, “Particularly if you take into account that they've started dancing only half a year ago. Their only problem is that one can always see whether they just had an argument.” He turned to Sasuke. “So avoid arguing with Naruto tomorrow. Make certain that he has a wonderful night, then you'll win the tournament.”
“He's having a wonderful night, isn't he?” Kakashi said.
“That's not what he's talking about,” Sasuke replied. “I guess it will be too late when we get home tonight, and tomorrow morning we have to work, but in the afternoon we have some time off before the tournament starts. We may make use of that time.”
“Do so – then the judges won't be able to resist you.”
Apparently Kakashi still had no idea what they were talking about. He turned his attention to Naruto again, who was now singing one of the songs about a young soldier who died in war before he had ever kissed a girl.
“This is so beautiful,” Kakashi said again. “I'd never have thought that Naruto could sing a sad song and put so much emotion into it.”
“He still needs to learn a lot,” the guy from Earth Country said. “His voice is without training, but what's worst is his taste in music, or rather his lack of taste. He still needs to learn that the songs he has chosen can hardly be called music.”
“What else are they then?” Kakashi asked.
“They're commercial sentimental rubbish we sell to the ninja countries. Now here's again a song about a girl waiting for her lover who's a soldier.”
“I like it,” Kakashi said. “It's fitting that Naruto sings a song about the suffering war brings to all of us. We've all read the preface of the Gutsy Ninja he has written, and we all share his desire for peace.”
“It's all cheesy. It's all about the suffering war brings to us, but there's nothing about ending war.”
“You know, it was me who encouraged Naruto to release a new edition of the Gutsy Ninja,” Karin said as if the man had not spoken. “And it was me who persuaded the editors to publish it.”
She smiled at Kakashi, proud as if she had written the Gutsy Ninja herself. Kakashi smiled back.
“It's so rare to find a man who reads Icha-Icha,” she continued. “Mostly it's only women.”
“Because the books are stupid” Sasuke said. “Men prefer intelligent books.”
“Actually most men prefer pictures to books,” the guy from Earth Country said. “Apparently you haven't found out about it yet, because with Naruto at your side you don't need any pictures.”
It was not entirely true: Sasuke did not seek out any picuters but if other people showed him photos, or if he stumbled upon them by accident, he did not turn away.
“It's got nothing to do with intelligence. I'm certain your former teacher is a very intelligent man, even though he enjoys reading Icha-Icha.”
“Anyway, I want to tell you that Karin and I will leave soon,” Kakashi said. “She has generously offered me that I might stay at her place tonight. I guess that this will solve some problems for you: Accommodating Sakura must be difficult enough.”
“Sakura will sleep on the sofa, and you can sleep on the floor,” Sasuke said. “Really, there aren't any problems.”
“I guess your friend Karin will have something better for him to sleep on than the floor,” the guy from Earth Country said.
“But she won't leave him alone when he's sleeping. I know her! She's worse than Sakura. I cannot let him go with her! It's irresponsible. At least I need to warn him!”
All three grown-ups looked quite embarrassed.
“Your teacher is a grown-up man, and a powerful ninja in the bargain,” the guy from Earth Country said. “I guess he's able to protect himself.”
“Ninja arts are useless against Karin,” Sasuke replied. “She's no fighter, and it would be unfair to use them against her.”
“I'm certain that your teacher can protect himself without employing violence,” the guy from Earth Country repeated.
They had to stop their discussion as Naruto started another song, and they had to listen to him. When the song ended, Kakashi and Karin had left.
