Chapter
Sixty-Two: Conflicts in Music Town

Sasuke
remained awake, watching over Naruto's sleep and cautiously kissing
his hair. Now they'd had even anal sex, he thought, remembering how
he had watched Kabuto and Orochimaru, and how he had fought off
fantasies of doing the same to Naruto. He had been the active partner
in these fantasies, of course, but now this did not matter. What
counted was that they had been united in this most intimate way, and
that it had not been about pain or submission but only about being as
close as possible. (This did not imply, of course, that he was ready
to give up his intention of being the active partner himself once
they had solved the problem with the kyuubi.) He caressed Naruto's
shoulders, followed the line of his flanks with his fingers, and then
felt for the round form of his buttocks: they were lying in spooning
position now, but Sasuke felt more protective of Naruto than he felt
any erotic desire. There'd be other times. Probably.

Naruto
did not sleep for long: it was in the middle of the afternoon, after
all.

“Did
you like it?” Sasuke asked when he noticed that Naruto was
awake.

“What?”

“Having
sex?”

Naruto
turned around, embracing Sasuke with his arms and legs and kissing
him.

“Even
though the kyuubi was on the point of taking over?”

“He
was still far from it. You did not have to enter my mind.”

Sasuke
felt annoyed, but he did not show it.

“You
want to do it again?”

Naruto
looked uncertain. “Now?”

“Yes.”

Naruto
smiled and rolled on his back. He's so beautiful when he's smiling,
Sasuke thought, and all I have to do to turn on this smile is ask for
some sex. He began to kiss Naruto and caress his cock.

It
was easier this time as they were less nervous now. Sasuke got
experimental and took care that his prostate got stimulated, so that
this time he came too. Naruto watched him, and when afterwards Naruto
came, Sasuke kept an eye on him, but he did not use his Sharingan:
Naruto managed to keep the kyuubi in check himself.

Having
sex was not the only occasion when the kyuubi would wake up. The most
important football match of the season was approaching, the
relegation match that would decide whether Inner Center would remain
in the highest league of the football association of Music Town.
Naruto and Sasuke went to watch the match with some friends of the
gay community who happened to be fans of Inner Center too.

Even
more than Naruto Sasuke was aware how much their situation had
changed since they had watched their first match together: Then they
had been on their own, and Naruto had greeted fans he did not know,
just because they were also fans of Inner Center. Now they met
friends and acquaintances among the other fans, and they proceeded
very slowly on their way to the stadium as Naruto stopped to chat
with each of them:

“They
are bound to win”, he told them, “They'll give everything
now. They'll fight and run to their last drop of breath. They just
cannot afford to lose.”

Sasuke
hoped they'd win, though mainly for Naruto's sake. He liked football,
and he was glad that he and Naruto were finally getting better at
playing, but he lacked Naruto's passion for “their” team,
Inner Center. Thus, while Naruto talked to the other fans, his own
eyes were on the policewomen who guided the masses on their way to
the stadium: some just standing around and chatting and occasionally
answering questions and telling people where not to go, and to
Sasuke's astonishment people mostly obeyed, even though these women
obviously were not elite ninja as his own family had been. (If people
did not obey immediately they normally did when the women got angry.)
On the other hand, the football fans here weren't ninja either, so
that you did not need elite ninja to keep them in check.

Some
of the women, however, were on horseback, and it were these who
really impressed Sasuke. He had never seen any horses, except on
pictures or in the form of plastic toys of Juugo's new foster
sisters. He had not thought that they were so big and strong, and the
women on their backs so tiny in comparison. He wondered whether they
had a special trick for controlling these huge beasts, some kind of
genjutsu maybe.

Naruto
bought beer, French Fries and fat sausages for the whole group, then
they were ready to enter the stadium. Naruto was optimistic, not only
because he was always optimistic but also because he was genuinely
convinced that his team, Inner Center, was better than the other
team. (Sasuke did not point out to him that he had never seen the
other team play.) He kept his optimism for a long time, even when
their friends were getting more and more desperate as the match went
on and neither team scored a goal. He pointed out to them that Inner
Center kept attacking, while the other team confined themselves to
defending their goal. They were bound to make a mistake, he explained
to his friends, and then Inner Center would score.

Alas,
it did not come true. Fifteen minutes before the match ended Inner
Center lost the ball in a moment of unfocussedness, and then the
other team outran and outwitted their defense and scored. Inner
Center got even more offensive now, so that Naruto kept hoping that
they'd draw even, but this had as a consequence that their defense
got even more disorganized so that the other team scored a second
time, just a few seconds before the final whistle.

Naruto
was in shock, tears running down his face. Sasuke laid an arm around
his shoulders. (Fans everywhere did this, even straight guys.) Their
friends were crying too, and none of them was able to leave the
stadium while fans of the other team rushed to the lawn to embrace
the players. Only when some security guy told them to get up they
finally left, led by Sasuke who was not crying, even though he was
affected by his friends' grief. He enjoyed comforting Naruto, though.

“Next
season they'll be back”, he said.

Naruto
would have calmed down soon – he never was sad for long –
if it had not been for some fans of the other team, singing “good
bye, Inner Center”. Naruto lost his temper when he heard them.

“You
were just lucky!” he shouted at them. “We were always
attacking! By right we should have won!”

“Not
lucky, clever!” the other fans replied. “You were too
stupid to score.”

“You
were too cowardly to open your lines of defense”, one of their
friends said. “And you only scored because you conquered the
ball with a foul the referee did not see.”

It
was not true, Sasuke thought. He had again used his Sharingan to be
better able to follow the match.

The
fans of the other team, who originally had been in a good mood,
naturally, were getting more and more angry now.

“We
won the match by right”, they said. “Learn to play
football, then you'll be able to score, and won't have to cry.”

“We
are not crying”, Naruto shouted, even though this was obviously
not true.

The
mood was very aggressive now, both sides ready to fight, Sasuke being
the sole exception. Nervously he watched the changes in Naruto's
face, he even activated his Sharingan to see the kyuubi's chakra
surrounding Naruto but he did not enter Naruto's mind.

“Calm
down. It's just football. There's no need to get upset”, he
told Naruto.

“How
can you tell me to calm down in such a situation?” Naruto
asked. “We've lost, and they're making fun of us. You're not a
true fan.”

“No,
I am not”, Sasuke said. “Now calm down.”

He
increased the weight of his arm around Naruto's shoulders, and with
his free hand he took Naruto's hand.

“You're
a traitor”, Naruto said. “You always were. You don't know
the value of loyalty.”

“I'm
loyal to you”, Sasuke said. Forcefully holding Naruto back as
their friends took a step towards the opposing fans. “You don't
want people to notice that you're the kyuubi's jinchuuriki.”

Naruto
was still sufficiently rational (and sober) to be shocked by these
words.

“Does
it show?”

“I
notice”, Sasuke replied. “And if you go on, other people
will notice too.”

Naruto
allowed Sasuke to lead him to the side of the street, out of the
mêlée. Their friends, though they had pulled up their
sleeves, still had not begun to fight, but continued provoking the
other fans. They weren't real fighters, Sasuke thought; it was a good
idea that he and Naruto stayed out of the controversy, as with them,
the fight would have got serious.

In
the end the situation was broken up by two of the women on horseback.
The prospective fighters stepped back as the great animals approached
and the women dismounted. They took down everyone's names, and
Naruto, who by now had calmed down completely, was glad that Sasuke
had forced him to withdraw. He wanted to thank him, but Sasuke was
staring fascinatedly at the scene.

“What's
happened to you?” Naruto asked. “It's all women.”

“It's
the horses”, Sasuke replied.

He
caressed Naruto's shoulder. “Next year they'll play in the
first league again”, he said. “Let's go home!”

People
in Music Town did not only get upset about football. There was also a
heated debate about some foreign event called European Song Contest.
Allegedly it was very popular among gay people in other parts of the
world, so that the gay community of Music Town discussed whether it
should also take an interest and send a delegation to the festival to
meet with gay people from all over the world. There was consent that
the music itself was not worth it, as it was extraordinarilily bad.
It was so bad that people in Music Town had difficulties to make
sense of the contest: Should a country not try to send its best
musician to represent it, so that they might win honour for their
country? They speculated that it was all a mock contest about having
the worst musician, but the theory broke down when people had a look
at the outcome of previous years and discovered that normally the
most decent of all thse bad musicians won.

Many
members of the gay community of Music Town felt offended by the idea
that they should join an event that was mainly about bad music, They
considered it a betrayal of the ideals of their home town, and they
valued their patriotism higher than their loyalty to the
international gay community. “We are gay”, they said,
“but this does not mean that we don't have any taste for music.
We are citizens of Music Town just as everyone else.”

Others
argued that gay people from other countries also knew that this was
bad music and that they should losen up and join them in making fun
of the event and else make use of the opportunity to meet gay people
from other places and have fun with them (not only fun, but also sex
as far as Sasuke and Naruto understood.)

Neither
of them had any opinion on the matter in question. Sasuke still had
not developed any taste for music but considered it something you
somehow needed in order to dance synchronically. Naruto, however,
actually liked the music that was typical for the contest: He was
wise enough, however, to understand that he'd lose the respect of all
their fellow dancers if he openly admitted this. Also they wondered
how people could get into heated debates about something as trivial
as music, but when Sasuke mentioned this to the husband of the guy
from Earth Country the man got very upset and told Sasuke that he had
understood nothing and still had to learn a lot and should care more
about the ideals of Music Town if he ever wanted to feel at home
here.

Sasuke
was silenced by the man's outbreak, and by himself he came to the
conclusion that people in Music Town loved to argue, though mostly
about trifles. They had no idea what fighting really meant: what it
meant to risk your life, to get hurt, see your comrades risk their
lives, to watch your loved ones die. They had no idea what it meant
if your whole right to exist was at stake and you had to fight to
reestablish it. People in Music Town did not know of danger, or of
being threatened and therefore they loved fighting, like the kids of
their taijutsu class or the football fans who provoked each other, or
like their gay friends who engaged in endless discussions about a
music contest on the other side of the world.

Recently
he and Naruto had made some friends who loved discussions even more
than the average citizen of Music Town did. It seemed to be their
major hobby and their principal activity when they hung out at the
riverside, where Sasuke and Naruto had got to know them via some
friends and friends of friends. The group consisted of straight and
gay people, meaning that Sasuke had to learn to get along with
females who were neither lesbians nor six years old. He discovered
that it was quite easy if he made clear that he belonged to Naruto
and he even learnt to flirt a bit. It was Naruto who was more nervous
in female company now, which made Sasuke nervous in his turn: Was
Naruto anxious to please these young women? Normally, however, when
they returned from such an evening, Naruto would embrace him and kiss
him and then undress both of them so that they might have sex. Sasuke
never asked for the reasons of this behaviour, he was just glad that
Naruto showed his affection in such a passionate way. For Naruto,
however, Sasuke's warm response was a reminder of being accepted as
he was that he desperately needed after such an evening. In the
company of women he felt clumsy and awkward and inadequate, and even
more so when Sasuke flirted with them. (It did not help that most of
them were a few years older.) With the gay men (he still did not
think of them as the other gay men) he felt more comfortable. To them
his clumsiness was manly and his extroversion charming.

He
also felt intimidated by the young people's education. First he had
thought that they were ordinary people working in ordinary jobs,
older than him and Sasuke, but still far more similar to them than
the teenagers from their first dance class who still went to school.
Then, however, they had discovered that their new friends were
students at the university, and that their gossip was all about
professors and other students, and if they did not just gossip their
conversation was not about football but about politics.

Everybody
in Music Town discussed politics. It was, after football and music
the third most popular topic of conversation (and argument). But
while the regulars of their restaurant mostly complained about
streets with too many holes or schools in need of redecoration, or
about curfew hours and laws about smoking or not smoking in
restaurants, these young people went for the big picture: They
complained that the whole government of Music Town was corrupt and
that the old elite of the time when it had still been the Hidden
Village of Music was still in power.

“Nothing
has changed”, they said. “it's still the old clans. It's
just that they've ceased to sell their fighting skills and instead
now control the music industry. All the big labels are theirs, and
they decide whose music shall be promoted in all the ninja nations
and who will have to play in basement clubs for all their life. They
think they're a special kind of people with superior taste in Music,
but in reality they have just inherited power and money from their
ancestors.”

Naruto
wondered what Sasuke thought of this, being the descendant of an old,
powerful clan himself, but Sasuke seemed quite interested.

“There
should be more possibilitlies for smaller labels, and it should not
be those on top who decide which music becomes famous and which does
not. People should decide.”

Others
would contradict: “You can't let the whole population decide
which kind of music should become famous. Most people are stupid,
they demand simple music that challenges them neither emotionally nor
intellectually. They want something that makes them feel well. If you
let them decide you get something like the European Song Contest. It
should be the good musicians who decide what's good music, those who
really know what they're talking about, and that's not the old
clans.”

They
also discussed methods to bring about the change they dreamt of. Some
suggested founding their own independent label, devoted to
experimental music, others preferred to nationalize the big labels
and see that the influential posts were no longer held by members of
the old elite. They considered drawing some of the younger, more
open-minded members of the administration on their side, or
collecting signatures to show the government that some of its members
were not popular at all, or to force them to take measures against a
record label that forced unfair contracts on their musicians.

Sasuke
took care not to miss any of their words. All these ways of getting
rid of a political elite were completely new to him. They would not
work against Danzou, however, he thought. (Also, he had never
considered changing the system. They'd take Danzou out of office, and
then Naruto would replace him as Hokage.)

They
told their new acquaintances that they were from Konoha, but
pretended that they had left because they were gay. Just as Naruto
suspected Sasuke was not very keen on telling these young people that
his own clan had been part of the old elite (or maybe they had not,
or they would not have been ghettoized and murdered.)

“Konoha,
wow”, their new friends said. “That's quite a backward
place, though it certainly has its charms. People there still support
each other, while here everyone only thinks of himself. Danzou is
ruining all all, however. He's the worst Hokage they ever had.”

“He's
really just a cruel military dictator”, someone else said. “The
former Hokages all managed to uphold an appearance of caring for
their village. He's revealing the true nature of the ninja villages'
political system. You must be glad that you escaped, even though it's
probably difficult for you to deal with the liberties and
possibilities of Music Town.”

Naruto
felt offended, but Sasuke smiled, pleased about their new friends'
condemnation of Danzou.

“We
enjoy the liberties and possibilities, thanks”, he said,
leaning against Naruto and laying Naruto's arms around himself.

“We
don't intend to stay, however”, Naruto added. “We plan to
return and to take Danzou out of office.”

“Do
you?” the young people replied. “Cool.”
