Likely because of the nature of Shikama Doji but Shinoa is in a different state than regular demon possession. No horns, and of all things was in the process of turning into a vampire but apparently only to make her more of a conduit for being possessed.

So it's still the same Shinoa, just completely out of it with Shikama Doji in control, so sure she would understand others feelings, it's just that right now one would be interacting with Shikama Doji rather than a possessed at some stage human if that makes sense XD
