Kaname & Takuma

This page is about the relationship between Kaname Kuran and Takuma Ichijo.

Background
Kaname and Takuma have known each other since they were very young. Juri Kuran used to send Kaname to play with Takuma in the hopes that Takuma's sunny disposition would influence the dour Kaname. When Juri and Haruka Kuran were killed, Kaname was sent to live with Takuma and his grandfather. Of all the characters, Takuma may know Kaname the best. However, at times Kaname still remains a mystery to Takuma. Takuma and Kaname greatly respecteach other. Takuma frequently accompanied Kaname on his visits to see Yuki Cross and was likely that Kaname had trusted him enough to let him know her secret.

Story Summary
When Kaname wanted to attack Rido Kuran (while Rido possessed Shiki Senri), Takuma refused to let him harm Shiki's body, appearing to be pro-council for a period of time. He expressed a little doubt in Kaname, when Rido assure dhim that Kaname would not harm Shiki's body. When Kaname went to turn Yuki, Takuma expressed concern that Kaname had found no alternatives. In the 43rd night, Kaname revealed that in his eyes, Takuma is the only important Ichijo. Takuma refused to go back to his original life after Sara Shirabuki "captured" him. He therefore became a servant to Sara and no longer had close contact with Kaname since Cross Academy had been destroyed.
