Why is it not the responsibility of either of the two. If you want something you get with your own 2 hands not someone elses. She does want him to be happy to the point where she would even sacrifice herself for him. She cares about his well being above her own and so does Shana that is one of essences of loving someone.

that's why i think the novels are so much better than the anime. in the novels, during the fight with sabrac and before yuji figured out a plan

Spoiler for differences from novels:

shana said to kazumi that if she dies then kazumi should use the hougu to call for pheles and escape with yuji(she doesn't know the drawbacks of the hougu), but then kazumi said if shana dies then the hougu would become worthless and decided she need to protect shana and yuji with her life, but it was not needed in the end as sabrac's true form was discovered.

but yeah, the anime version of kazumi is really selfish and annoying.
