It wasn't.
Therefore we cannot say what "would have happened" since all we have is the anime as it is.
If a future series comes out that explains more, then we can discuss the "ifs" about Kallen and Lelouch.
As it stands, there isn't enough development between them to call them more than friends.

By the same token, one can argue that all the moments between them constantly getting interrupted is demonstrating two people who would have been closer if not for outside forces constantly intervening. One is chance, twice is coincidence. Four distinct instances is a theme.
But this is a point on which we must agree to disagree.

Whether you want to term it honor or obsession doesn't matter.
She's still covering for Lelouch since she knows Suzaku is acting as Zero, and she's lying for him.
You may not like/appreciate my terminology, and that's fine, but the result of what we see her do is the same.

Because it isn't the same. Calling it obsession carries the implication that she's doing it just because it's Lelouch, rather than out of any more complex motivation. Moreover, your original phrasing, intentionally or not, implies that Kallen hadn't figured anything out when she clearly did, which changes the reason behind her interruption of Tohdoh. In essence, it transforms a more complex motivation into a petty one.
