It's both, really. He doesn't want Rikko to get hurt, but he also knows what it's like to realize that you're in love with someone who doesn't love you, and doesn't want Sen to go through the same thing. Especially since Sen adores Jun. Which is why he can't tell Sen the real reason why he shouldn't go, and says the wrong things, hurting Sen.

Things like this show just why I think Kaoru is such a great character. He's not the most likeable person ever, but these thought processes and his development as a character are so well done.
