Disclaimers on everything that I don't own.

He was running late.
For once in his life, he was running late… how ironic. And she was expecting him to be there for her big day.
He sharply turned his car and somehow landed in a parking spot. Immediately turning off the engine, he jumped out of his car, not bothering to use the door, and jogged over to the stadium filled with lights, roars, and waves of music.
As he neared the large singing platform, he heard a distant and familiar voice echoing off the stereos hung over head. "And now, I'd like to dedicate this special song… to a very special person, somewhere out there!"
A tune of drums and guitars flowed throughout the whole area and soon, a melodic voice blended with the music.
Uh, life's like this. Uh uh that's the way it is.
Cause life's like this, uh, uh.
Chill out, what're you yelling for?
Lay back, its been done before
And if you could only let it be, you'll see!
I like you the way you are, when we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one but you become!
His eyes narrowed, confused at her choice of song to sing…
For him…
Somebody else, 'round everyone else. Watching your back, like you can't relax.
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me…! Tell me!
Why do you have to make things so complicated, I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated!
Life's like this you, you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn it into! Honestly, promise me I'm never gonna find you fakin'! No no no…
She sang her heart out to him, eyes searching over the seas of people who were cheering for her. But... he wasn't there…
You come, over unannounced, dressed up like you're something elseWhere you are and where you at, you'll see, you're making me!
Laugh out when you strike a pose, take off all your preppy clothes.
You're not fooling anyone when you become!
Her voice strained and she felt tears coming to her eyes…
Was he not coming?
Somebody else, 'round everyone else. Watching your back, like you can't relax.
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me…! Tell me!
Why do you have to make things so complicated, I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated!
Life's like this you, you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn it into! Honestly, promise me I'm never gonna find you fakin'! No no no…
Lifting her eyes to the darkened sky, lit by the many lights flashing behind her.
She entered the bridge of the song and was about to sing the last chorus for a dramatic close until she saw him...
No no no… no no no…He stood at the base of the hill, looking straight at her with his hair whipping around him from an invisible wind. He held his closed hand to his face and spread it open, pressing his lips against the coolness of the piece of jade.
Smiling and blinking away her tears, she lifted her own hand to her jade piece and kissed it.
Somebody else, 'round everyone else. Watching your back, like you can't relax.

The music trailed off, leaving only the steady dying beating of drums and her heavy breathing.
"LOVE YOU SESS!" Rin shouted into the microphone in her hands, waving happily at her boyfriend on the hill.
Unknowingly to himself, Sesshomaru allowed his mouth to curl into a brief smile and gave his girlfriend a less enthusiastic wave.
Note: Rin's about 16, Sesshomaru's 25.
The song is "Complicated" by Avril.
