He knew about her crush on Naruto. Everyone did, but it couldn't have hurt anyone more than it hurt him. Kiba Inuzuka Loved Hinata Hyuuga. That's all there was to it.
Even before they were put on a team, he had showered her with gifts and attention, beating up the boys who would have taken advantage of her adorable shyness. He was an unspoken guardian, and older brother of sorts. Except older brother was the last thing he wanted to be, at least for her.
The first time he saw her, it had been in the Academy, first day of their first year. She was sitting in the front row, staring at her hands. He plopped down beside her. "Hi, I'm Kiba!" His loud voice echoed across the room, and several kids laughed.
She had smiled weakly, "Hinata." Compared to his voice, hers was a whisper.
Their sensei had stood at the front of the class, ordering them to split into groups of two, but their partner had to be from the other list. To Kiba's horror, Hinata was on the same list. The boy stood up, ready to demand a switch.
"Sensei! I should be on the other list! I'm..." his face paled as he actually bothered to read. "I'm a cat person." Several people snickered, and Kiba knew he'd be in trouble when he got home, but Hinata's smile was worth it.
He could be anything for her.
