Chikage Kushinada/Relationships

==Relationships==
==Mikumo Kushinada==
Mikumo is Chikage's master and her Step-Mother. Mikumo takes great interest in her skills and her desire to walk her down the path of killing. Nontheless, Mikumo cares for her very much, but is more than willing to do what she wants for her rather than what Mikumo wishes her to.
==Kenichi Shirahama==
Despite her being in YOMI, Kenichi greatly cares for Chikage and has a desire to bring her out of the darkness. Kenichi told Miu that he views her as a little sister due to her age. Though Chikage occasionally doesn't think much of Kenichi and sees him as her enemy and called him "band aid" in the beginning, she's gradually shown more of a caring side towards him and beginning to view him as a friend. However, it is clearly evident that she is starting to question the Killing Fist philosophy and becoming more and more intrigued with the Saving Fist philosophy and with Kenichi himself, though she doesn't want to admit any such thing. She tends to hide her budding friendship with Kenichi with seemingly hostile retorts and reactions. When in her "Child Mode" she's more friendly towards Kenichi. By the time Miu was kidnapped by Junazard, she's become much closer to him, actually showing sympathy towards Kenichi's condition and wishing to help him anyway she can by giving him some candy.
==Miu Fūrinji==
Miu and Chikage are rivals in a sense as Miu wanted to fight her in Kenichi's place due to his refusal to hurt women. When Miu told her to be her true self when she saw her love for sweets, Chikage repremanded her for doing the exact thing she's doing by wearing fake glasses and braiding her hair a certain way. Miu, realizing she was right and wanting to prove a point, came to school without her usual look, surprising Chikage. Later on, Chikage has started to see Miu as much as a friend as she does to Kenichi, however, they are still tense towards each other when Chikage eats with Kenichi at lunch, much to Miu's jealousy. She did threaten Chikage if she ever hurt Kenichi she would regret it, causing Chikage to react surprised and pleased. When Miu was kidnapped by Junazard, Chikage was sad and later happy she returned home safely.
==Haruo Niijima== 
Chikage has a strong connection towards Niijima, as Niijima is very manipulative towards her childishness and easily puts her in situations she wants such as birthday parties with candy. He constantly fills her head with ideas and having fun for her age. Regardless, Niijima does really care for her and even wants to consider her an honarary member of the Shinpaku Alliance
==Kōzō Ukita== 
Chikage gets along well with Ukita, as Ukita, like Kenichi, views her like a little sister. He's the only one to try to invite her with the other Shinpaku members having invited her to the candy shop and even bought her candy, something she was grateful for. She seems to care enough for him to help him fight the armed Yami members and was surprised when Ukita defended her from an attack. She later helped him name his first move, calling it the Arashi Guruma. However, at the amusement park, Ukita was left attacked by an emotionless Chikage stating he needs to die. Despite this claim, Chikage is unable to kill him, which left a battered Ukita to state it's cause of her bond with him and her friends. However, Ukita seem very angry and tear when she cause Kisara Nanjō, his love interest, to get fatal blow from Siegmarigen.
==Ginsuke==
Ginsuke is her pet fish that she got at the festival, in which she likes a lot and takes care of.
