Everything You Ever Wanted

Summary: After showing Hwoarang her true colors and finding out who killed her mother, Natari is now on a different kind of quest.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tekken; however, I do own Natari's character.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It took a season's going by to know it's not my fault.

I tried to be perfect.

Tried to be honest.

Tried to be everything that you ever wanted.

I tried to be stronger.

Tried to be smarter.

Tried to be everything but you…

"Wait, so Henry Rodriguez is not really your father?" Hwoarang's voice on the phone sounded a bit surprised at this as the words poured from his lips.

"That's right," I confirmed.

"And how did you find this out?"

"I'd crashed through the window with every intention of killing him but when the time came, I couldn't do it." I didn't like speaking of my weaknesses but I guess that's a need-to-know. "I dropped my dagger and I fell to my knees. I told him I was sorry and he reached down with a thumb to my cheek and wiped my tears away but then he said 'Natari, there's something else you should know. I'm not your biological father.' A sudden flash of anger fell upon me and picked up my knife and stabbed his leg. He knows that he deserved it and it didn't need to be said. I don't even think that it really hurt him and if it did he didn't let it show. He said, 'Rebekka cheated on me and I found out a few years after the divorce.' I looked up into his brown eyes and realized that he was right. My eyes are blue. My mother's were green. He didn't tell me who because I already know." I wiped a tear from my eye as I held the receiver with the other hand. "I should go. My plane leaves in an hour. I'm going back to Japan today. See you when I get in."

I smiled a bit as I hung up the phone. I packed my things and checked out of the hotel.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

As I got off the plane I never would have expected to see Hwoarang there waiting for me. He greeted me with a hug and that was unexpected as well. I guess he missed me.

He kept looking over at me when he went with me to get my bag. "What?" I asked smiling a little.

"Nothing," Hwoarang smiled back. "You just seem a little different."

I gave him a quizzical look and when he didn't reply I just ignored it and picked up my bag as he followed me out.

"Hey!" I called. "Phoenix! I need to talk to you!"

Paul turned around and walked towards me. "Hey, did you ever find your dad?"

"Yeah," I poked my finger into his chest. "You're my father." He scowled at me, not understanding. "Rebekka. Do you remember the name? She looks kinda like me except her eyes aren't blue; there're green. Henry's are brown. My eyes are exactly like yours," I grinned. "Dad." Then I turned and walked away. I could still feel his confused bright blue eyes on my back as I walked.

The leaves were green and the air was hot. I hate the sun. I wish it was spring again. It was my mother's favorite season because of the sakura. The cherry blossoms were her favorites beside sunflowers.

When I got back to my apartment, Hwoarang was there with Asuka. "I think you two need to talk. Kazama thinks you're mad."

"Since when do you care about Asuka?"

"Never said I did but she almost killed me." She laughed at his comment.

"Did not!" Asuka turned to me. "Natari, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen much of you lately and when I have you haven't been yourself."

"Heh. Asuka, I'm sorry I haven't been 'myself' but when I wasn't that was me. I've hid myself from everyone, everyone except Hwoarang. I, I don't like who I am. And I just realized that recently. But I've hid from you and Jin but why, I'm not so sure." I sighed and she hugged me. "And, Asuka," she looked up and at me. "I'm not the kind to say sorry."

She smiled and broke the hug. "I'm here for you."

"So, what are you gonna do now?" Hwoarang asked. I shook my head. I had an idea but I didn't want him or Asuka to know. I had to change so that I could stand myself. People hate what they do but they never do anything to change that and if they do they just get worse. I'm going to be different.
