In my opinion, if she were to do so, it'd be out of character for her. Unless, of course, she's being sarcastic or something.

I can't rly picture her being polite...that's just not Kana xD

well sama actually means Mister,Ms, or Mrs. in japanese
You wouldn't actually call your sister or brother like that everytime do you ?

Eh, I'd say the "san" is more equivalent of Mr/Ms/Mrs, and that it's quite typical for little sisters/brothers to call their older sister "nee-san".

Chiaki uses the "sama" honorfic to express her deep admiration and respect for Haruka. It's definitely not typical of a younger sibling to use.

Agreed

"-sama," from what I understand, is an honorific used in a sort of reverence towards someone else.
As Meddigo stated, Chiaki shows her deep admiration and respect for Haruka by using the honorfic, "-sama."

Kana doesn't have a deep admiration to Haruka, as some users have stated already :x
