In depends on a lot things, like focus and action, etc. Right now Kagura is on a journey, and has a goal, and is at center of the conflict (she's protecting the one thing that everybody wants). Kensuke, on the other hand, is still trying to decide what he should do, that's what I say we still don't know what role he's going to play in the current arc.

Yes my bad, I just meant antagonist.

This is the most likely scenario for him right now, unless the mangaka has some plot twist in store for us. We'll see.

Dam you poorly constructed continuation plot..... Dam you
But did you read the latest chapters? 42 and 43, specially the later.
