Artificial Intelligence (Ai Mikaze Fan Fiction)

AI: 20

"You've probably realized it by now." He uttered after listening to my explanation. Yes, I did, but where will I get an inspiration now? It took seven years for me to find one- to find Shiori. But put that a side, I'm a bit curious on how Mikaze creates his songs. No need to mention that composers or lyric writers always have feelings by their side when writing songs.

"Mikaze-senpai, if it's not too much to ask. How can you create your own lyrics when... you know...? Can you feel?" I asked him- a bit cautious on the words I use.

"The lyrics I write are already programmed in me but the answer to your later question is I don't know." He simply answered with a straight and serious face. Does that mean, he sometimes wonder whether he feels or not? Isn't that hard? You don't have any idea if you feel or not? Or rather, you're already feeling something but you're not aware of it? I don't know if this is right but... I feel a tad bit of sympathy towards Mikaze.

I looked down. I really don't know what to say.

"I have a lot of pending songs, but I'm still thinking whether to release it or just let it go to waste." My gaze suddenly shifted to meet his, but to my dismay he wasn't looking at me. Instead, his eyes were locked on the sparkling blue water of the flowing creek in front of us.

"Reiji-kun informed me about you knowing the story behind my creation." He continued after a long pause. I blushed, realizing that: if Reiji told him that he told me the story of Mikaze, does that mean he also told Mikaze about my own thoughts? Right now, it's like I want to hide my face inside a paper bag while talking to Mikaze.

I looked down as a sly and pretentious smile crept its way on my lips. I know I'm blushing, and I want to hide it so badly. But what good will it do?

"You are aware of Aine right?" He asked. I nodded in response.

"He writes love songs. So the professor also programmed me to write love songs and sing love songs. Pretty much dedicated myself to mellow love songs. But me being an artificial intelligence, I'm aware that I don't feel, or rather I can't. No emotions can make its way through me. That really contradicts to Kisaragi Aine's passion for love songs. Because of the mere fact that I don't have emotions, my songs are always incomplete."

I looked at Mikaze as he telltales. This is the very first time he opened up to me. He looked at me, his cyan eyes was as empty as ever.

"By the way, want to listen to one of my incomplete songs? It may contribute with your writing problems." I snapped out of my thoughts. I flashed him a warm smile.

"I'd love too."

I arranged my things and we stood up. He excused himself first and I went on my way without him. I stopped at the dormitory's entrance and waited for him. After more than a minute, he came into vision. He was holding on to something. He inserted it inside his hoody's pocket before he got nearer. I didn't bother to ask.

He led me inside the dormitory and into the vacant practice room- where a grand piano stands alone. We approached it and he sled on to its rectangular chair. I stood beside it. He opened it- exposing its white and glistening keys. He gently ran his fingers on some of its keys making consecutive sounds from low pitch to high.

He stared at me for a moment. I raised my eyebrows. He tapped the vacant space beside him and asked me to sit beside him. I did what I've been told. I sled next to him. He looked at me then placed his fingers unto the open keys. I looked at him sideways and before he creates a melody I caught a slight glimpse of his expression- I don't know if my eyes are just playing tricks on me, but I can see a pained Mikaze right now. Is that even possible for robots?

He started playing. A soothing melody lingered inside the practice room. He started singing.
