Canon
Despite being both main characters of the manga, Shinoa and Mika rarely interact with each other, but Shinoa greatly respects Mika, while Mika for a long time wasn't that fond of Shinoa, but later eventually begins to trust her.

In Chapter 12, Mika saves Shinoa's life.

In Chapter 37, Mika attacks the Moon Demon Army to get Yuichiro back, he almost dies but Yoichi seems to regnocize Mika as Yuu's family member. Later, Shinya tries to kill Mika, but fails because Shinoa defends Mika, Shinoa tells Mika that he should go and take Yuichiro with him. Shinoa then also convices her teammates, Shiho, Mitsuba and Yoichi to help her to defend Mika, which they agree too.

In Chapter 43, Yuichiro awaks from his demon phase, Shinoa knocks onto the door and says good morning to Mika and Yuichiro, which Mika completely ignores. Shinoa then points out that it's been a while since Mika drank blood and that he should drink blood soon. Mika annoyed answers that she should just do what she wants. Shinoa then holds out a bottle full with blood and say's that everyone collected some of their blood for Mika to drink. Mika then asks's Shinoa what's with her attitude and that he won't forget that the humans were experimenting with Yuichiro. Shinoa says that both must be so frustrated because they haven't had any breakfeast. Shinoa attempts to give Mika the bottle of blood, which Mika beats out of Shinoa's hand on the floor. Mika say's that he won't drink this blood and that he refuses to be this womans pet, to which Yuichiro answers that Shinoa never had this kind of intention.

In Chapter 72, Shinoa talks with her demon Shikama Doji, Shikama Doji aks Shinoa if she's interested to find a ways to turn Mika back in a human. Shikama also states, that "someone" would be extremely happy to see Mika as a human again. Shinoa answers that she isn't interested in a way to turn Mika back, to which Shikama asks's the counter-question if she's interested in a way to turn Yuichiro back in a human, which seemed to interest Shinoa.

In Chapter 8 of the Catastrophe manga, its shown that Mika and Shinoa have already met as kids. Mika sees Shinoa talking with Guren and asks her if she's alright, Shinoa lies and say's that she was attacked by Guren. Mika then say's that he will call the police, which didn't seem to interest Guren.

Both, Mika and Shinoa are seen to be thinking of Yuichiro as a very important person in their lives. Mika and Shinoa also both scarified themselve for, Yuichiro showing that Yuichiro's live is more important to both, as their own lives. In the manga, there are also several parallels between Shinoa and Mikas actions towards Yuichiro.

Both Mika and Shinoa are confirmed to be in love with Yuichiro, Mika admits to love Yuu in Chapter 90 of the manga, while Shinoa does this in Chapter 99.
