How do you feel when you know you've failed?

It's horrid isn't it?

I'm starting to feel that way now…

Urgh… If only I could create him to be human like…

But what's human without feeling?

I can't see a way out of this…

Yao sat by the window crouching down to look up at the sky as the snow fell slowly. He counted each snowflake and so far reached the number 50,187 flakes. He could remember each individual pattern and he could point out each snow flake out on the floor and tell you the number. He had a very special gift in his system. Kiku had made him well so that he would be clever and so that his system would stand tough conditions. If you were to bomb the robot it would still be standing without a single scratch on its skin. This made Yao practically immortal and indestructible, well… For the time being anyway…

Yao stared at the white powder fall, still counting though he wasn't counting for joy, just out of curiosity. His face blank not showing any sign of emotion, he wasn't blinking either. His small brown eyes didn't twinkle either they were just blank brown.

Kiku noticed this and sighed slumping back in his armchair drumming his fingers gently against the arm rest. He thought he was so close to getting it right but when he looked back and thought for a while. He wasn't even off the starting mark properly. He sighed and closed his eyes for a brief moment trying to think of new ways to make Yao more human like.

But the professor slowly started to nod off to sleep again. Until he was interrupted by a knocking noise at the door. Kiku sighed standing up to go to the door. Yao didn't react still staring at the sky counting snowflakes. Kiku sighed and opened the door looking up a little.

"Kirkland-san?" he tilted his head blinking. He hadn't seen his other friend in years. In fact Kiku hadn't really been out of the house since Yao's death. He must have missed out on lots of things.

The Brit nodded his head and smiled a little, "Hey… Yeah I was just passing through the area and I just remembered that you lived nearby and I-"

"Neehoa…" Yao interrupted looking at Arthur with his blank brown eyes.

Arthur blinked in a little shock, "W-w-what?"

"Neehoa…" Yao said again, "… I'm Yao… Who are you? Do you know the professor?"

Arthur's eyes widened a little, "B-b-but… It can't be you… You are d-"

"Excuse me Kirkland-san but I advice you should leave now… I appreciate you coming to visit me though I'm sorry but now is not a good time… I'm sorry…" he looked the other way and closed the door.

Yao turned to look at Kiku then turned to the window again walking over and crouching down again.

"Oh… I lost count…" he said in a monotone voice then stared as Arthur slowly walked across and away still in a bit of shock.

"Impossible… Just… Impossible! I remember! Yao got killed… He couldn't have just come back to life…" Arthur muttered pulling his scarf around his neck once more and rubbing his hands together. Pondering over the thought of the impossible just happening. Being rather superstitious the Brit shivered and his green eyes widened again, "I-i-i-it's a ghost… That was Yao… Just coming to haunt me…" he suddenly started to run home, "NO NO I DON'T WANT TO BE HAUNTED!"

Yao turned his head to look at Kiku and then turned his head back at the window counting the falling snow starting from zero again.

Kiku sighed and slumped back in his chair again muttering and shaking his head again.

"I'm afraid Mr. Kirkland doesn't understand that nothing is impossible though… I'm having doubts now Yao…" he muttered looking up at the Chinese Robot.

"What like?" he turned to face the other standing up and staring.

"… I think I've failed… I'm sorry for letting your down Yao…" he muttered again and slumped back more in his chair.

Yao tilted his head, "… Does not compute…"

Kiku clenched his fists frowning, "You see what I mean? You have to start acting more human… You don't say, 'Does not compute' it makes you sound like a robot!" he raised his voice a little. He was just stressed he didn't mean it of course, it just slipped out.

Yao turned and sat by the window again, "… But Professor… I am a robot…"

Kiku gasped a little then sighed, "… I see…"

Note: Hello again~! Thank you for reading up to this point~!

I thought why not add another person to the story. It makes it a little bit more interesting instead of it just being Kiku and Yao. So I threw Arthur into it too XD

So yeah...

Please do review, ect and continue to read w

Thanks again~!
