When Feelings Change

Chapter One: Goodbye

A tall boy stood at the gateway of an airport. He was about 6'2" and was very muscular but he wasn't the body-builder type. He had long silver hair that bordered his waist. He wrapped his arms around a slim figure tightly as if he never wanted that moment to end. But that very moment was going to end as the tiny figure hesitantly pulled back and looked into his glamorous golden orbs that were filled with nothing but love. The boy searched her eyes for an answer, an answer that would never come. He wanted it all to be a lie. He wished that it was some cruel joke that everybody was playing on him. But no, this was reality and he knew that as well as the girl standing in front of him. He gently smiled a weak but loving smile and kissed away the tears that threatened to fall from her smooth pale skin. He had to be strong for her. He wanted to be her knight in shinning armor one last time. He wished that there was some way that he could just magically whisk her away and never once look back. But he knew all too well that this was more impossible than a cat surfing. (A/N: Haha… I didn't know what else to put…) This was the day that the one person who he loved would leave his life and possibly never come back. This was the day that he had dreaded for two long months now.

Flashback

A young boy about the age of sixteen flopped down onto his pitch black sheets. He stared at the phone that laid beside his bed, giving it silent commands to ring. Sighing softly, he turned over and stared at the ceiling wishing time would fly by. He thought about how perfect the night was going to be. He had waited for this day for what seemed like an eternity. A ring from the telephone interrupted his peaceful thoughts. He jumped up as quickly as he could, as if his life depended on it. He snatched the phone from the charger and spoke into it.

"Hello." He said.

"Hey, what's up?" came a manly voice. The boy's spirit fell a little. He was expecting to here the sweet and tender voice that belonged to his girlfriend. It turned out to be his best friend, Miroku.

"Oh, hey Miroku." The boy said.

"Hey, what are you doing tonight?" Josh asked.

"I'm going out with Kikyo tonight." he replied. (A/N: 1: I know a lot of people spell it 'Kikyou' but I'm going to spell it this way.. One less letter for me to type… and 2: yes in the beginning of this they are together and they love each other but it wall all change… trust me… I HATE Kikyo/Inuyasha parings…)

"Oh yes, it's the big one year isn't it? God, I can't believe it has been one year already. I just seems like yesterday that you two love birds were going out on your first date…" Miroku said.

"Okay, mother." The boy said sarcastically. He just heard laughter from the other end of the line.

"Our little Inuyasha is growing up so fast. It just seems like yesterday when I was changing his diapers and giving him baths with his little rubber ducky…" Miroku cried.

"Ha, ha, very funny." Inuyasha said with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"So, what do you and Kikyo have planned for the wonderful evening?" Miroku asked out of curiosity.

"I am taking her out to dinner, then I am going to surprise her by taking her to the first place where we met. And after that we are gong to come back to my place and watch the movie that we watched while we where on our first date." Inuyasha explained.

"Something tells me that you won't get a chance to watch the movie…" Miroku grinned to himself.

"Cut the crap Miro…" Inuyasha replied. (A/N: I'm sorry about all of these! But anyways.. There are going to be nicknames.. I'll try to make them as clear as possible.. If you don't know who one is.. Just ask okay? Okay!)

"Ah, but you see, this is my nature…"

"Yea, well your 'nature' needs to change or you're going to end up gay."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Miroku yelled.

"Nothing man, just nothing."

"Whatever. So, while we're on the subject of what you are doing tonight…"

"Don't do it man." Inuyasha warned.

"Are you…"

"I am warning you…"

"…going to…"

"Say it and die a very painful and horrible death."

"…score?..."

"Okay, that is it! Prepare to get your ass kicked the next time I see you!"

"God, it was only a question…"

"How many times do I have to tell you that she's not ready for that yet?" Inuyasha yelled out of fury. His best friend had a tendency to be very perverted.

"I know, I know. I just thought that maybe she could have been ready after a year. I mean come on now. How can you stand life man, without any booty? I honestly don't know how you do it…" he asked. Inuyasha sighed to himself. He often asked himself that question. The only answer that he came up with was that he loved her. He refused to try to pressure her into to something that she was not ready for. And he certainly was not going break up with her. So he decided that he would wait for her. As long as she needed, he would wait.

"Man, I don't know. Just about the only thing I do know is that I love her." Inuyasha tried to explain to Miroku. Miroku was about six feet two inches and was very athletic. He had luscious violet eyes. He had hidden muscles that no body knew he had. Inuyasha was about the same height as Miroku and just as athletic. Though his muscles were more visible and all of the girls would swoon over him.

"Wow you must be really serious about Kikyo." Miroku noted.

"Yea I am. I mean, I honestly don't think that there is another girl out there for me. I love Kiki with all of my heart and I plan on telling her that tonight."

"Good luck man."

"Thanks, I need it. But I have to go and call her up and set up a time to pick her up alright? I'll call you later and tell you how it went." Inuyasha said.

"Alright, if you don't call by 1 A.M. I'll assume that you're busy." Miroku said.

"You know, I should really get you a girl…"

"Ah, my friend, I already have my eyes on one of the lovely fishes in the sea…"

"Oh really? And who might the unlucky girl be?"

"That was harsh Inuyasha."

"I'm only stating the truth man."

"Thanks… Anyways, I am thinking about asking Sango out." Miroku said knowing very well what the response was going to be.

"Again?"

"Well, I think that she might actually say yes this time. I've been working my magic on her."

"Give it up Miroku. You have better luck getting with her brother than you do Sango." Inuyasha explained.

Miroku sighed softly, knowing that it was very true. Sango was one tough girl, but that is what he liked about her. She had long, dark brown hair and honey dew eyes that were intoxicating. She was about 5'6" and weighed about 137 pounds. When men looked at her, they couldn't help but notice her spectacular curves. All of the men were after her, but Sango wouldn't let any of them get past her barriers. As best friends with Sango, Inuyasha and Miroku knew this first hand. They often wondered what it was that made her act sour towards any boy who wanted to get with her. That was a secret she kept well hidden.

"Any ways man, I have to go and call my girl okay?" Inuyasha said.

"Alright, goodbye" Miroku replied.

Inuyasha hung up the phone only to pick it up again and dial his beloved's number. There were a couple rings when a sweet voice came.

"Hello," came the voice.

"Hey baby," Inuyasha said.

"Hey! What's up?"

"Oh nothing much" he replied.

"Why did you call?" she asked.

"Oh, so do I have to have a reason to call my girlfriend now?" Inuyasha questioned playfully.

"Well, no, but…" Kikyo began but Inuyasha cut her off.

"Well, okay then. No if's, and's, or but's about it missy!" Inuyasha said. He heard a soft sigh on the other end and he knew that he had won the battle but not the war. "So, Kiki?" he asked.

"Yes?" she responded.

"I have a surprise for you…" he echoed.

"I knew you had something up your sleeve!" she responded.

"When can I pick you up tonight?"

"I don't know? What time is it now?" Trisha asked. Inuyasha lazily rolled over and looked at his clock that lay beside his bed.

"It is a little after 5 babe"

"Oh well…can you pick me up at like 7?"

"Alright baby I will see you then. And wear nice cloths but bring something comfortable to change into afterwards okay?" Inuyasha informed.

"Um, alright. Can you tell me what we are going to do tonight?"

"Now, that would ruin the surprise now wouldn't it?"

"I'll still act surprised?" she said filled with hope.

"Baby, no. Just wait. Okay? I promise you that it is worth the wait."

Kikyo sighed in defeat and agreed with Inuyasha. She didn't have time to argue with him. She had less than two hours to get ready for the big night. She didn't know what on earth he had planned for the marvelous night but she knew that it was going to be perfect. She hung up the phone after saying goodbye with Inuyasha and went down stairs to tell her parents that she was going to go out tonight. She found her father and mother sitting at the kitchen table with a worried look on their faces. Then she noticed her little sister crying. Kikyo was confused and looked at her parents for some sort of answer. They told her that she better sit down for what they were about to tell her. Kikyo was about to be hit hard with news from her parents that would tear her world apart. (A/N: Muahahaha! DIE KIKYO DIE!)

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was making last minute preparations for the perfect night. He had made reservations at her favorite restaurant, Outback Steakhouse. He had even managed to pull a few strings and close down the park and forest that the town surrounded. It was a quiet town that was on the edge of what people called an "Enchanted Forest." No one knew what the mystery was behind that forest. Those who have tried to find out always vanished. The town wasn't very populated and in order to get to get to the city you had to drive for about a half an hour. But to those who lived there it was a satisfying town and they enjoyed living there. This night was going to be perfect and nothing or no one was going to ruin it. But then again, a perfect night can go the complete opposite of the way you would like it to go. And that is why Inuyasha was really nervous. Tonight was the night that he told Kikyo what he felt deep inside his heart. Tonight was the night that he told her that he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He could honestly not see himself with anyone other than her. He was sure that she was the one. She was his all, his love, his soul, his heart, and ultimately his everything. If he lost her he wouldn't know what to do.

Inuyasha got ready to pick her up, making sure he looked his best. It was their big night and he wanted to look especially good. He had picked out a silky, red, button up shirt with a white undershirt underneath and some black dress pants and dress shoes. He also had on his favorite watch that his father had given him for his birthday when he was a child. He brushed through his sleek black hair and put some gel in it so it would stay the way he wanted it to. He didn't really care for the stuff but in this case, he didn't want his hair to be all over the place. He looked over at the present that he had bought for Kikyo. It had taken him weeks to find the perfect gift for her. It would take him a while to pay of his mother for lending the money to him, but Inuyasha was convinced that it was worth it. He glanced over at the clock and saw that it was time for him to pick up Kikyo. Grabbing the gift, he almost sprinted out of the house and into his car.

Kikyo couldn't believe what her parents had told her. Tears were pouring down her face as she pleaded her parents to tell her that it wasn't true. She couldn't believe that this was happening. Everything in her life was finally starting to get better. Then her parents crushed everything that she had worked so hard to build. She didn't know how she was going to tell Inuyasha. She had to tell him that night, on their one year anniversary, that she had to break up with him. That was going not only crush her but Inuyasha also. Before Kikyo knew it, it was almost seven o'clock. She quickly cleaned up and got into the outfit she picked out.

'There was a knock at the door as I was just finishing applying my make-up. I heard my parents greet the person and ask them to come in. I knew it was him. Part of me wanted to die right then and there. Part of me wanted to run down stairs and jump into his loving arms and pretend that there was nothing wrong. I heard the voice of my mother calling me from down stairs, informing me that Inuyasha was here. I yelled back down the stairs that I would be down in a minute. I had to get myself together. I didn't want Inuyasha to think that there was anything wrong. I was going to make the most of this night. It was our night and although by the end of it I would have to break his heart along with my own, I was going to let us have one last final happy night together.'

Kikyo gathered herself together and made sure she looked alright. She walked down the stairs and into where she heard her father's voice. She assumed that he was reminding him of the consequences of sex. Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the living room and all eyes fell on her. She looked deep into Inuyasha's illuminating golden eyes and at that moment she wished she could read minds.

'When she stepped into the room her beauty glowed. I just couldn't help but stare at her. She was like a goddess, an angel that came down from heaven. She was wearing a long black velvet skirt with an elegant light pink top. Her hair was up in a fancy bun and her gorgeous brown eyes popped out. I couldn't help but notice that on her left hand was the promise ring that I had given to her for her birthday. I smiled to myself. This night was going to be flawless.'

Kikyo's mother cleared her throat to grab the couple's attention. Both of them snapped out of their trance and blushed fiercely. After pictures were taken, the couple left for the restaurant. Everything was perfect. Kikyo seemed to be having a good time, even though in the end she knew that it would turn into a disaster. After dinner they changed into their comfortable cloths. Kikyo had on a pair of tight fitting jeans and a pink t-shirt. Inuyasha wore black baggy jeans and a red t-shirt. Inuyasha led Kikyo to the first place where they had met, the park. Trisha gasped in shock and tears were beginning to prick her eyes.

"Kikyo, I wanted to tell you something," Inuyasha began.

The couple sat against the tall oak tree where they had carved their names. Trisha turned around to look into his golden eyes. She searched for an answer in them. She found love.

"What is it Inuyasha?" Trisha asked.

Inuyasha gulped and took a deep breath. This was it. This was the moment that he had prepared himself for. Yet, he was still so nervous and afraid of what she would say back. The words were caught in the back of his throat.

"Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked, waiting for a response. The sound of her sweet voice gave him the courage to empty out his heart.

"Kikyo," Inuyasha began. He took a hold of her hands. "We have been together for a year to this day. And I have realized that my feelings for you have changed."

Fear struck Kikyo. She didn't know what to do. Was he going to break up with her?

"Kikyo, I love you. I have loved you for quite some time now. I love you with all of my heart and I would do anything for you." Inuyasha said softly.

He looked deep into her gorgeous green orbs to find tears pouring down her soft skin. He gently wiped the tears away. His life depended on what those tears meant. Before he could get another word out, he felt arms wrap around his neck and he was pulled into a sweet and tender kiss. The couple broke apart, only from lack of air. Kikyo looked into Inuyasha's eyes and whispered the same three words back. (A/N: EW EW EW EW EW EW INUYASHA AND THE THING KISSING! EW EW EW!)

"I love you too" she said.

Inuyasha smiled and pulled her into a loving embrace. He was the happiest man alive. Nothing could bring him down right now. He was on top of the world at that moment. After a couple hours of just sitting and holding each other, Kikyo decided that it was time to break the news to him.

"Inu?" she asked.

"Yes?" he responded.

"I'm moving." At that moment the world stopped turning and it came crashing down on top of him. He couldn't believe his ears. But it was true. His one true love was moving to Japan, half way around the world. He didn't know what was going to become of their relationship. After crying and holding each other they decided that they would wait for each other for as long as they needed to. And when Kikyo came back for college, they would pick off where they left off. (A/N: NOOO! THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BREAK UP FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!)

This was the day. It was the day that Kikyo was leaving for Japan. The couple stood in the gateway of the airport embracing each other, never wanting to let go. A woman came over the intercom and said that her flight was loading. With another kiss goodbye, Kikyo slowly walked outside where the plane was and boarded it. She took one last look at the man that she loved and then she disappeared from Inuyasha's sight. He slowly walked away and got into his vehicle. The whole ride home was quite. He had streams of memories running through his mind. He drove past the park and slid to a stop. He parked in the parking lot and raced toward the oak tree. They called it the 'Sacred Tree' because it was a sacred spot for them. He hit his knees and tears poured down his face, creating a waterfall of tears. His love was gone. She was gone for good. He couldn't believe any of it. It all felt like a horrible nightmare. He wished that he could wake himself up from it, and his love would be right there beside him. But there was no waking up from reality. He wanted to die at that moment. But he had promised his love that he would wait for her to return and that is what he was going to do.
