Sol Falling I think your analysis of Arata/Chihaya and Taichi/Chihaya is missing something fundamental.
Taichi is there with Chihaya, Arata is not. The loss of Arata is a big thing to Chihaya but that doesn't mean if she lost Taichi this would not be a big thing for her as well.
Unfortunately the fact that we are interpreting their relationships from very different perspectives makes it hard to say anything definite.
On another note I haven't really seen Taichi want or try to place himself above karuta in Chihaya's life. The problem isn't Chihaya's love & dedication for Karuta, the issue is what Taichi perceives Chihaya's feelings are for Arata.
