Eragon here with another story! This story just hit me one day (not literally). Anyway, those who want to read this story, I would advise that you read Eragon Namikaze's past first, then read this. If you don't do this, then accept the risks and confusion you will suffer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or the songs that I use!
It was a quiet average day for six superhero teenagers. All six of them were just relaxing, not doing anything, even playing video games. For some reason, crime kept rising in Jump City and the Titans spent practically every minute fighting crime.
Beast Boy, or as he was now known to his fellow teammates, NOT the city, Eragon Namikaze, was laying his head on his girlfriend's lap. Surprisely, yet at the same time not, his girlfriend was Raven Roth. It was hard for both of them to reveal each other's feelings considering both their pasts. (A/N See? You have to read Eragon Namikaze's Past in order to find out how horrible his past was; he's also an OC.)
Now, he lay blissfully on Raven's lap, daydreaming about how the relationship happened. (A/N for those who don't know what he looks like or doesn't feel like reading the fanfic mentioned twice above, I'll describe him to save you the trouble.) His skin was pale; his chin was pointy, losing all of the baby fat from past years. He still wore a midnight-black mask that was like Batman's mask, but round at the edges. There was a black thin line over his left eye, covering the scar that Eragon was ashamed of. His hair was growing toward his left eye, probably to try to hide the scar for it did that at birth. His hair had black, amethyst, and emerald stripes in it, reminders of his horrible past. He still had the fang sticking out and the pointy ears. The one things, however, that eluded his teammates was his eyes. Only Raven knew the true colors and the reason for the mask.
His true eye colors are emerald green. However, when he lets out some of the power from Kyuubi and Brisingr, his eyes turn into red eyes with a yellow slit. The whites of his eyes turn orange, and a black outline goes around his eyes. Eragon uses the mask, which had blood-red slots, to help hide the fact when he's demon and his demon eyes. Even Eragon himself is afraid of the eyes for they looked so evil.
Eragon had always wondered why Raven, who was half-demon herself, fell in love with him and yet, still want to stay with him. He saw nothing good about him. All he saw was a demon, a monster, who doesn't deserve to live. All those times he had doubted himself, Raven had been there for him, reassuring him. He laughed mentally because he did the same thing when Raven doubted herself. When he and Raven became a couple and blossomed from that point, he knew in his heart that the curse was broken. (A/N I'll explain in the end. Might as well go to the end, read it quickly, and come back to this part.) Eragon sighed in happiness how his life turned out and closed his eyes, bored though.
Raven stroked his hair, thinking deeply. She was thinking about how her life turned out. True, she was wary at first when Beast Boy revealed he was the Eragon Namikaze. But, over time, she saw that Eragon was just like her, lonely rejected, and was rarely shown kindness. No wonder he was reluctant to show his true identity.
One year after the prophecy, she somehow found herself in love with the bane of Azarath. Raven was very reluctant to show emotions, but then realized that Eragon was suffering the same problem. He couldn't risk showing emotions, fearing the consequences.
Then, one day, he asked to talk to her in privacy and she agreed, her heart beating super fast, hoping with all her heart that Eragon would confess his love to her. On the roof, he told her that he did love her and they shared their first kiss. (I don't do mushy-mushy.)
Raven sighed at that happy memory. It was the one event that changed her life for the better. The mood was awkward, yet romantic. Right now, at the moment though, she was bored.
While sitting on the couch, Robin had an arm wrapped around Starfire. It's true that they became a couple, but that doesn't mean Robin loosened up. He was still stuck-up, but Starfire didn't care. Robin and Star had just finished making out, but now, they were just plain bored. They both thought about how they managed to find each other. At the same, they cuddled together unknowingly. They were happy with how their life turned out.
On the other side of the couch was Bumblebee leaning against Cyborg. A few months ago, she and Cyborg officially became a couple. In Cyborg's mind, he was way beyond happy for two reasons. One, he had a crush on Bee ever since he helped build Titans East tower. Tow, he was half-machine and most people, the majority being girls, ran away from him at first sight. Bee didn't care and that's why he didn't give up hope years ago. He placed a kiss on her hair, but was plain bored. For once, Cyborg didn't feeling like playing video games and crimes are down. He felt like doing something new.
Bumblebee was so happy when they became a couple. When she first saw him, she didn't care. She knew that he wasn't really as dangerous as he seemed. Bee started developing a crush on him. A few months ago, Cyborg had romantically confessed his love to her ad shared their first kiss in the T-car. She may be happy back then, but now she was bored, bored, bored. (She knows who Eragon is, just doesn't care.)
Finally, Eragon got fed up with all the boredness. He declared, "Since all of us are so bored, how about do something we've never done before, a karaoke party?" All the Titans seem to brighten at that idea. In Eragon's mind, ideas were racing through his head. Raven was scared; her voice was very good; she was shy to sing in front of her friends. As usual, Star and Bee were exited and up for the idea. Cyborg was neutral on the outside; inside, he was ecstatic for he loved parties. Behind his mask, Robin's eyes were shining.
Eragon stood up, his eyes were reflecting a lot of emotions, but the Titans couldn't see it because of his mask. He spoke up, neutral as usual, "I have an idea. I know this will sound complicated, so I'll try to explain this as simple as possible. How about this: First, we sing Disney songs, then sing modern music like pop, jazz, or rock n' roll, something like that. But here's the catch; we sing three songs. The first one is about him/herself. Since we all have a boyfriend/girlfriend, the next song will be about him/her. Finally, for the third song, the couple will sing a song that fits them. I know you don't get it, but I think Raven and I are willing to show you how to do this." Raven protested, but Eragon had already thrusted a microphone in her hands, "Don't worry; I'll go first." He turned, his smile turning into a grimace. In his heart, he feared what he was going to sing. It wasn't the fact he was afraid his friends would reject him; no, he was afraid about the song and how it affected him and most ironically, it was a Disney song.
As he went to take the stage (not literally), he put up his hand. It wavered slightly. He grasped his mask and spoke with a small voice, "Raven, you know how I was exiled from Azarath?" Seeing a nod, he continued, "Do you also know about the exile song?" Another nod. "Most ironically, my exile song is a Disney song. I feel this is special, singing my own song and all, that I've decided to take off my mask." Everybody, even Raven holded their breathe. The Titans have never seen Eragon's face without his mask before and even Raven rarely sees him without it. To them, his eyes seemed like emerald that lighted up when happy and turned dark when depressed. Taking a very breathe, he released the second spell that coved his scar. Every single Titan in the room gasped. Hi face was cover with scars, with red at the edges. "I'll explain later. After this song, I will, I promise," Eragon spoke with a hint of despair and fear.
Using one of the computers, he put up the music:
Deception
Disgrace
Evil as plain as the scar on his face
He sang with so much sadness that the Titans were concerned for their friend. Since Raven was an empath, she could feel the true depth of his sadness. She was truly scared for him.
Deception
An outrage
Disgrace
For shame
He asked for trouble the moment he came
(Chorus singing)
Eragon stopped as the chorus was singing. His eyes were closed, and they could see tears forming. Looking beside him, they were startle to see something like a portal. They saw Eragon as a little child and saw him being tortured. Now, they knew what the portal thing was. Eragon was unknowingly showing his memories from when he was a child on Azarath and how he got his scars.
Born in grief
Raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run
Let him live
But do not forget what we never forgive
For he is not one of us
He has never been one of us.
By this time, tears were failing freely.
He is not one of us
Not our kind
Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we'll know that he'll never be
One of us
He is not one of us
Deception
Disgrace
Mmmmm, deception
Disgrace
After he was done, he gasped and phased through the floor and to the roof. At once, he suppressed both his feelings and aura so that Raven's can't find him. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't suppress all his sadness and anger. Within moments, Raven was on the roof, hoping that she could help her boyfriend. She kept her distance, though, for she knew he wasn't ready to see her.
"You know," he said out of nowhere. His animal senses smelled that she was near. "That song described me perfectly, down to the last word. I will never be one of them."
"How did the other words describe you though?" Raven asked. Then, it clicked. Eragon had said this was his exile song, and exile songs normally described the person.
"See my scar?" Eragon pointed to it. Raven saw it; it actually looked like a scar unlike the other ones because the whole thing was red. He said softly," My renounced father, Galbatorix, also had a scar like this. You know why I was exiled? According to them, I supposedly killed one of Azarath's most powerful mages. They thought I was a spy for Trigon. Well, I can't blame them. My so-called dad was a spy for Trigon, and he's famous for his scar on his eye. They thought that I was like my father." Now, Raven knew. He was upset because the song described him like he was going to be like Galbatorix. It had created an image that he hated. She knew that in his whole life, he rebelled against being like Galbatorix, but the song had destroyed that image.
"Look at the bright side. It hasn't changed my view, nor the Titans'. If we didn't reject you then, how can we reject you now? Besides, it's my turn to sing," Raven tried to comfort her boyfriend. He nodded, walking with her. However, unknown to him, Raven was also dreading singing the Disney that described her.
Okay, the curse. It's said that those who are demon containers will have horrible lives, but the most powerful demon container of all was said to have the most terrible life ever imagined. The only way to break this curse was one in a zillion chances. The demon container would have to find his true love, someone who truly cared for him. Then, he would have a happy life and can feel emotions.
Now that I think about it, this sounds a little like Beauty and the Beast and no, I didn't base it off of that. It just came to my head one day, and ever since then, it sticked.
