Basically from the start, Kaoru viewed Sebastian as a valuable asset to have because he couldn't really do anything. Like sure, he knew stuff, but he couldn't actually do anything about what he knew because he couldn't let even the slightest hint out that he wasn't a regular player or the producers would swoop down like vultures and carry him off into the great beyond. WHICH THEY DID EVENTUALLY TRY TO DO... So basically his hands were tied and he was under the impression that the killers were a huge threat, so he was kind of like SHIT WHAT DO I DO because no one else was catching on and he definitely couldn't have done anything to draw attention. And then Sebastian appeared like some sort of unholy force of nature WITH AN ALMOST COMPLETE LIST OF DKS... And Kaoru was just like "praise the lord we are saved". Except they were all also kind of saved too because tracking down the DKs gave Sebastian something to focus on that wasn't murdering all of them so that sure was a good thing, thank god.
Sebastian realizing that Kaoru utilized him well as a tool is basically what was happening there. That's why he didn't press Sebastian into killing anyone; because he came to the realization that Sebastian would be more useful alive than dead. Also because he did like having someone to talk to in the game itself that kind of knew he wasn't a timid pushover... He had gone two years without any sort of facade at all so it was actually pretty hard for him to maintain one so consistently in CC and he was grateful for the breaks barfstains provided, basically. ANYWAY he just kind of let him do his thing, talk to the lawyers, whatever. He was really content with their arrangement where Seabass put himself out and Kaoru hung back since that suited his purposes perfectly, and after a while he kind of got over his initial fear that barfstains was going to end up stabbing him in the back. Mostly because he got so invested in his other, slightly less murderous goals...
The one thing he was vaguely worried about was the fact that Sebastian seemed like he might have tried to kill Nanami either way, which Kaoru absolutely didn't want because he knew a Mastermind death of any sort would trigger the sort of ending that they couldn't have done anything with. But Sebastian pulled through!! And then they were on the Team Fuck The Producers boat together even more than they had been before. He spent a lot of the game being worried that barfstains would be an issue because of his weird adherence to rules but then he turned out to be just as adverse to them in the end as Kaoru is, so the ending of the game just kind of worked out like... perfectly... Sebastian was alive and around to help them all out and keep them safe and the final battle was something they all survived and now they have a magic combat butler to add to the team!! So he's excited about that.
As far as things go on a personal level, Kaoru really does like Sebastian a lot because their personalities mesh and a lot of their ideologies are, from what he's seen, pretty similar or at least not in conflict with each other. He's also vaguely worried for the same reason Stiles is though, like, man he already crawled out of the shitheaded murder demon trap he doesn't want to fall back in. He has enough faith in himself to believe that he'll be able to resist it but sometimes it is tempting... He totally has no idea what to think of the random loyalty that Sebastian has spawned out of seemingly nowhere, has no idea that his interest runs so deep, and is vaguely concerned about the fact that hE THINKS HIS SOUL IS TASTY... Like he is already getting the big gay vulture vibes. That said, he's not gonna turn down the chance to have such a powerful and loyal ally, so... yeah... basically he's stuck with murderhusband for the long haul and he doesn't really mind that. Kaoru can teach Sebastian all about cat memes and the internet and garage sale thrifting and Sebastian can make Kaoru nicer windowboxes for his flowers, it will be a great and beautiful murdermance.
