OKAY, COPY-PASTA FOR THE FIRST PART. The new stuff will start in bold underneath the old paragraph. 8>
Dante mainly sees Naoto as a kid with a lot of potential in her future. The fact that she doesn't let her gender deter her anymore from solving crimes is something he's fond of, in a way. He's the kind of guy who enjoys seeing others grow, either by his influence or just by watching them. He knows Naoto's always busy, but sometime these two need to hang, when they're not saving the world and everything.
After the whole Shadow plot, he's not afraid to admit that he represses the demon side within him, and with good reason. That doesn't mean he doesn't accept it- he's just not fond of the way demons handle things. I mean, who can blame him, really. They favor chaos and violence and destruction of everything ever. His mother, being a human and all, raised him towards the more affectionate side of things, and he grew to like and want to protect humanity. He wants them to thrive, to learn, to have a chance at redemption. His Shadow pretty much showed his demon side, as well as his frustration at humanity, however- mainly because they can be stupid and only think about themselves and just undo everything he's gone and fought for. B| Not exactly a pleasant thing. But now that the event is over, he's... not indifferent to what Naoto feels, but he's unsure of what she might think of him. Luckily, you can't hurt him, he's a really tough guy, physically and mentally, which was why Sol went after his Shadow first.
To Rukia, Naoto's turning into a little sister. XD She reminds her of herself at a younger age, when she was trying to pass all her classes in Soul Academy, and the trials she faced there, since she grew up in the Rugonkai, the poorest part of Soul Society. She doesn't want Naoto to go through all the things she did, but at the same time, she doesn't want to shield her from finding herself, in a way. Rukia is hoping over time they grow closer as friends, because she'd really like to get to know Naoto more.
As things played out in canon, Rukia really worried for you, Naoto. Mainly because, well- that's what friends do. If they can't be there for each other, they worry. And that's something Rukia does well, unfortunately. She knew you'd be fine, but not really being able to give much other then just verbal support did frustrate her from time to time. Still she realized that this was Naoto's problem, and that she and her friends had to overcome it. In a way, Rukia's seeing Naoto grow up, and it makes her happy to know that she has so many friends helping her along the way.
As for Yosuke- to him, Naoto is someone he admires, even if his attitude never fully shows it. The fact that he told her that she had balls for a girl means he ultimately respects her and what she does, and really admires how she sticks to it. She's the logic behind the group- while he fights and reacts out of emotion, she's the one to calm everyone down (along with Souji) and help them to think things through before something is done hastily or incorrectly. He believes that without her in the group, it wouldn't be as awesome or be as able to solve the case like it has so far. Naoto is important to him as a friend as anyone else in the group, and that's a lot. He's dedicated to watching everyone's back, including hers, so they can finally solve this mystery and make everything in Inaba run smoothly again.
lmao I broke the word limit 1/2
