Would they hate each other?
How would Seven and Kes get along with each other?

Perhaps Kes could have prevented the Dr. from having Seven dress in skin tight cat suits. 
Seven of Nine wasn't emotional, so that would help her to get along with Kes. Seven's problems with Torres stemmed from B'Elanna's inability to control her temper and the fact that she cut Seven absolutely no slack whatsoever and expected her to act like any other human from the very moment Seven had had most of her Borg implants removed, completely ignoring the fact that Seven had spent 18 years with the Borg and had no experience with human interaction, save whatever fragmentary memories she had of being a young child interacting with her parents.
Kes had none of Torres' volatility and would have instinctively understood Seven's background, thus would have cut her a lot of slack, which would have fostered them getting along in a satisfactory manner.

Nano Probes could have made regular Kes immortal.
Goddess Kes could have made Anika completely human, or even turned her back into an 8 year from before the Borg.

I think there was also a bit of a feeling of rivalry on B'Elanna's part. Maybe she worried that Seven might manage to do things better than her for engineering problems.
I always thought it was such a missed opportunity that they never got to play with any sort of Seven/Kes dynamic. That would have been an excellent improbable friendship, the contrast between the hardness of Seven, with all her blunt abrasiveness, and the softness of Kes, with her compassion and sympathy. Kes was already well-positioned as the character who could disarm the defenses of those that others wrote off as too difficult or standoff-ish.
Occasionally putting the Doctor, Kes, and Seven together in a story could have been fun also.

I think they would get along, she's the one in the cast most suited to reach out to Seven with patience and without judgment, plus they are the same emotional age.
She's much more naturally suited to be Seven's social proxy than the good Doc.

I think they would have worked well together, a good contrast but I think they'd have recognized each other's better qualities.
