NO HE REALLY DOES... Maya was another person he actually liked from the start. I'M LAUGHING REALLY HARD because I thought he liked a lot less but ?!? no that was just him being cranky, he liked most people from pretty early on. Maya was definitely one of them! He noticed quickly that even though she wasn't really taken seriously by a lot of people or listened to early on, she was extremely intuitive and pretty dang smart. Considering he developed this idea early that the DKs were going to be this huge dangerous obstacle to overcome, he wanted to have as many people ready to form a countermeasure if necessary which is why he approached her about Feferi in the first place with the whole daisychain info thing! AND THEN THAT EXPLODED but Maya had nothing to do with that part so he doesn't blame her at all.
His opinion never really soured toward her throughout the entirety of the game but he did come to a point where he kind of had to back off and stop talking to her for a while. She's a really high-energy person and since he had so much to deal with and had to focus so hard on not breaking his facade, he didn't want to expend the extra energy that would be necessary to interact with some of the members of the house. So basically he still liked Maya but her personality is one of the personalities he can only deal with in small doses and he backed off for a couple of weeks there. Though he really did appreciate that she got the burnt charm from Chizuru's room for him! He's progressed to the point where he can appreciate things like that, even if it didn't exactly help to calm him down.
Maya in endgame actually made him nervous because he had kind of pegged her at that point as the sort of person who wanted badly to be helpful, but he could tell that she felt she hadn't been. So he was worried that she'd do something really reckless that would get her killed and launch them into a trial, which is part of why he was kind of harsh with her (like pointing out that she'd be putting everyone's lives in jeopardy). So he does actually feel kind of bad for dragging her away from Yuyuko like he did, because he understands what it feels like to want to protect someone and just be unable to do that, but at the same time he doesn't regret it. AND NOW THEY ARE STUCK TOGETHER... I feel like Kaoru will probably become pretty fond of her over time since he already kind of is. Maya is his favorite lawyerboss and he's glad she's around to keep the other crazy lawyers in line since they're probably really gonna need that with Apollo around.
