Kaname & Takuma

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

Kaname Kuran and Takuma Ichijo have known each other since they were very young, and have been best friends since childhood, Kaname trusts Takuma and Takuma greatly respects him. But their relationship as friends becomes hotter and slightly rocky when Takuma has to protect Shiki, during the time when Rido is possessing Shiki under orders from his grandfather. When Kaname wants to attack Rido (whilst Rido is in Shiki's body), Takuma refuses to let him harm Shiki's body, giving off the appearance of being Pro-council for a period of time. In Chapter 43, Kaname reveals that, in his eyes, Takuma is the only Ichijo remaining.

Takuma refuses to go back to his original life after Sara "captures" him, therefore becoming a servant to Sara and no longer holding close contact to Kaname since the Academy was destroyed.
