Ryuuji is the type who is very loyal to his friends. He loves them like family and would take a bullet for them without hesitation. I suspect he gets this from his father. Gangs in japan are very often just like that, a close-knit group of friends who would follow each other to the gates of hell. I believe that Taiga has some romantic feelings towards Ryuuji, but she just does not see it herself just yet. Perhaps when it becomes apparent, Ryuuji can develop something similar.
