Kaname Kuran and Takuma Ichijo

Kaname Kuran and Takuma Ichijo have known each other since they were very young. They are best friends, Kaname trusts Takuma and Takuma greatly respects him. But their relationship as friends becomes hotter when Takuma has to protect Shiki, during the time when Rido is possessing Shiki, when Kaname wants to attack Rido (in Shiki's body), that's why for for some time it seems that Takuma is on council's side. In Chapter 43 Kaname reveals that in his eyes Takuma is the only Ichijo.
