I like aikido much more than kyokushin and I don't want to be a fighter. I'm not even particulaly interested in effectiveness for self defense.
Quit Kyokushin and focus on the martial art you enjoy the most. You can always change your mind. I also think it will be very hard to progress in any art with only two sessions per week (but especially hard with Kyokushin).

And if you want to do more stand-up fighting, many kickboxing/muay thai gyms offer the possibility to train single classes or buy a 10-class discount card (or similar). Similar sparring to kyokushin but less of the military discipline.
