A/N: I will not be puting up a disclaimer for every chapter-thingy. If for some odd reason you need to see it, just go to the first chapter. I will be adding more ficlets this weekend, but please R&R to encourage me on! Even if it's negative, tell me anyway! (Like, for example, how bad my spelling is. :)I apologise; I do not have spell check.) Now, on to Kanna's 'lil ficlet.

Empty Shades Have Feelings Too
---------------------------------------------
"Where is Kanna?"
"How should I know? The mindless twit probably wandered off somewhere."
Naraku narrowed those cold eyes of his, just ever so slightly. "Then go find her." He commanded. "Now. Make sure she has that mirror as well."
Kagura snorted in reply, but reluctantly went off to do what she was told. Talking back to Naraku never got her anywhere, she knew, so there was no point in it. To her, there was no point to any of this. She was a puppet for a monster, with no freedom for herself. She could only hope and wait for the day Naraku would drop dead.
But for now, Kagura had better just go and get her "elder sister". This was a little strange, since Kanna normally just stayed around the same spot all day until she was ordered to do something. She was nothing. She felt nothing, thought nothing, and for the most part, said nothing. Yes, she was nothing through and through.
Kagura couldn't locate her anywhere inside the castle, so she went outside to the grounds. It was very unlikely that Kanna would here, but Kagura knew of nowhere else to look. Besides, it was a fine, windy day and it felt good to get some fresh air. Taking her time, she strolled along, not really keeping an eye out for Kanna. If she was out here, Kagura would spot her easily anyway. The girl was literally as white as a ghost.
She had almost circled the entire castle now and was about to head back in when she heard it. Someone singing, tunelessly, from behind the trees.
"La-la-la, da-da-laaa-da-dahh!"
It sounded familiar; not the song but the voice. Kagura quietly walked over, coming up from the behind. Her eyes widen to the size of saucers when she saw the voice's owner.
"Kanna?"
The shade-girl looked up at her sister, cleary startled. Not of course, as startled asKagura was. Kagura gazed down at her, disbelieving her eyes. First of all, Kanna never looked startled before. She never looked anything! And she never played. Or sang. Or made daisy chains. Or did anything without first being told to. This must be a sign, Kagura thought feverishly, It's the end of the world!
After awhile, when it was clear that Kagura was not currently capable of speech, Kanna decided to break the silence.
"Little sister," She adressed her, hoping it might make her mad and get her to talk, "Would you like a daisy necklace? I have plently made..." Kagura ripped apart the flowers as Kanna tried to hand one to her.
"What in all the Hells is going on, Kanna!"
Kanna frowned. "I'm just having fun."
"Fun? FUN!" Kagura snapped, "You're nothing! A slave! An empty shade! You. Do. Not. Have. Fun!" She still couldn't believe it, but yelling somehow made it seem less abnormal.
"I may be an empty shade, but I have feelings too ya know!" Kanna retorted.
"What? That doesn't even make any sense! You're Kanna, made from nothingness! You don't have feelings. Or emotions. Or a personality!"
For a minute it looked as if that had some effect, and Kanna seemed almost herself again. Then Kagura noticed she was crying. Crying? It wasn't possible! Not Kanna.
She was at a loss now. What on earth should she do? What would Naraku say? Naraku. That's right. He told her to go and get Kanna. He didn't say anything about dealing with her sudden burst of personality. So let him deal with. "Kanna, Naraku has summoned you. Get your mirror and go see what he wants."
Kanna wiped her white tears on her white sleeve and shook her head. "Nuh-uh. Naraku's no fun." Kanna disobeying an order?
"It's not about fun!" Kagura growled, growing more confused and angry by the mintue.
"I bet you don't even know what fun is." said Kanna, who was no longer crying but pouting.
"Of course I do!"
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too!"
"Then tell me."
That caught Kagura off guard. "Well, it's...it's when you...you know, do stuff, that...that, uh, you... Arrg! Who cares anyway?"
Kanna smiled. "Don't worry sister, I'll teach you what fun is! With song!" She took a deep breathe and before Kagura could stop her, she burst out in her tuneless voice. "F is friends who do things together! U is for you and me! N is for anywhere, at any time at all, down here in..."
What is taking them so long? Naraku was tired of waiting; it had been more than an hour ago when he sent Kagura to fetch Kanna. What could possibly be keeping them? Irriatated and angry, he got up and went to search for them himself. And when he found them, they were going to get it...
A most terrible omen! Naraku thought as he watched in horror as his two shades danced around happily together, smiling, tossing flowers, and singing a songs about having fun. The end must be near!
/FIN/
