A/N: Some one-shots of pairings I think would be good. First one is short, next might be longer.

Title: Companion

Summary: She never thought she'd feel anything, and even if it was small, she definitely felt something.

Pairing(s):Kanna/Shiori

She couldn't understand, she couldn't feel.

She was empty, and she could not form an opinion on that.

Step by step, she walked the ground underneath her feet, listening to the sound of her very own footsteps.

Kanna stopped, and decided to take a moment to appreciate her surroundings. Well, try to.

She noticed she had stumbled to a village, the sound of children laughing and playing filled her ears.

'How curious, the simple things that make them joyful.' She thought, 'Inquiring. Such a pointless activity, yet they are delighted.'

She wondered for a moment withever or not she should take their souls, but she remained from a distance, watching as the human children continued their pointless exercise.

Kanna stood, staring aimlessly at the children.

Pointless creatures, but they did have something she would never.

Kanna almost wished she could join in, run around and laugh; yet the emptiness she felt quickly destroyed that thought.

One of the children stopped playing, and noticed Kanna.

"I'll be right back." She heard the child say faintly, as the child began walking into her direction.

Kanna noticed that this child was not human like the others were, and wondered what gave her the idea she was.

"Hello." The young girl said, "I'm Shiori!"

She held out her hand, and Kanna felt obligated to take it.

"..What's your name?" Shiori asked.

"I am Kanna." She answered, taking notes on the girls' appearance.

Sliver hair with small bows in it and her eyes were purple.

"Kanna," Shiori giggled, "That's a pretty name."

For a moment, Kanna thought she felt something.

"Thank you." She replied quietly, wishing not to be rude.

"You're welcome." Shiori said, "Do you want to come play, Kanna?"

"No thank you, Shiori." Kanna replied, "I would rather watch."

Shiori smiled widely, "How about watching the sunset near the water? It's real pretty." Like you. Shiori was tempted to add.

Kanna didn't understand why, but the offer seemed nice.

Shiori offered her hand, and Kanna took it.

The girl led Kanna to the water and sat down, inviting Kanna to sit next to her.

Kanna listened to the sound of the laughing children as they continued their game, glancing at the ocean blankly.

"It's pretty, right?"

Kanna turned her head to glance at Shiori.

"I suppose." Her tone remained empty.

"Hm.." Kanna must have a lovely smile.

Shiori looked for a subject to talk about, not caring much for the silence as the kids returned to their homes.

"Do you have a home?" Shiori asked, almost concerned the girl did not.

"If you could call it that." Her voice remained emotionless.

"Do you have any siblings?"

"Yes."

"Older, younger, sisters, brothers?" Shiori seemed to be either extremely curious, or just extremely fascinated by Kanna, "Do you get along with them?"

"I am the eldest. I have but one sister at the moment. Our relationship is decent."

Shiori felt like she wanted to know every detail about Kanna. She didn't even know why.

"...What about you?"

"Hm?"

"Your family. Your home. Tell me."

Shiori smiled, and Kanna felt a little less empty.

She learned a lot about Shiori, yet somehow she felt as though she learned more about herself.

As the sun was barely visible now, there was very little light to see the girl in.

"Shiori!" A young woman called.

"Oh," Shiori responded quickly, "It's my mom. I have to go."

Kanna silently wished she could stay.

"But I will see you again, I hope." The half-demon girl says, "Goodbye, Kanna."

"Farewell." She says back, watching as the girl left.

'Yes... We will see each other again.'
