Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Dedicated to Tai - happy birthday, amiga!
Looking back on it, he realized that it was her scent that first attracted her to him. 'As it should be,' he said, a smirk playing on his lips.
He couldn't name it - that ridiculously appealing aroma that was all her own. He had never met anyone who's mere scent affected him so potently and he found it ironic, ('more like sadistic') that it should be her - who he was forced to spend countless days with because she was a member of his team.
It had been difficult at first, to contain himself around her - to stop himself from spending every minute trailing her, breathing her in. Fortunately, it got easier as they spent more time together.
'...which isn't to say that it stopped affecting me, no, it's more like - it got easier for me to deal with,' he added, by way of explanation.
It was funny - that even after all this time, she didn't know, didn't realize the effect that she had on him. Then again, she had always been oblivious to his affection for her.
'She's more like Naruto than she realizes. She's just as oblivious - if not more so,' he continued, unable to keep the bitterness out of his voice.
He tried different ways of dealing with his feelings for her but none of them worked. 'As soon as I catch her scent, I fall for her all over again,' he said, grinning, 'so I stopped trying to ignore them. Instead I'm gonna wait - one day, she's gonna forget all about that clown and then I'm gonna tell her how I feel.'
"Don't worry - I know the feeling," Hana replied, eyeing her little brother curiously, "What's her name again - the one you say is your precious person?"
Kiba turned to her and grinned, his eyes lighting up as he thought of the girl who had unwittingly caught his heart, "Hinata."
