She just looked so dejected, it threw him off. Kiba was used to their occasional conversation consisting of barbs and insults and general all-round good times. Not of Ino teary-eyed and bleating for her father. He didn't know how to respond. Being an asshole wasn't an option - even he wasn't that cruel - but did that mean he had to be nice?
It didn't help that she reminded him of a face half-forgotten, either.
"I...Do you want an icecream?" Kiba scratched at the back of his head, uncomfortable with how this situation was playing out. He'd thought it would have been more fun. Instead it was just depressing. "C'mon," he said, trying on a grin for size, "I'll give you a-" Damn, what was the English phrase? "-A piggyback. I give the best piggybacks in the world."

"Okay!" she bravely wiped her eyes and jumped on his back without any notice. She liked him! He was really nice. Really nice! "I like you! And I like ice cream!"
Ino liked vanilla ice cream. With gummy bears. That was the best combination.

Akamaru plodded placidly beside them as Kiba carried his blonde burden carefully through the complex. He tried his best to stay away from people who might see them and ask questions or spread rumours or whatever crazy shit when on here. "So, what else do you like apart from ice cream, huh?"
Somehow this got a little bit easier the more he tried. Kiba wasn't sure how he felt about that.

"I like you, too. You're nice."
She was bonding very quickly with Kiba, who seemed really nice and promised her ice cream. Maybe he was her older brother or something that she never knew about. He had that kind of feel to him. Like she could depend on him and he would protect her.

...but when you had a girl who thought she was seven hanging onto your back bawling her eyes out, somehow being bad-ass didn't seem so important. Somehow it made him feel like he should be nice.
Akamaru whuffed at him in amusement. Kiba stuck his tongue out at him.
"Thanks. I like me, too," he answered Ino with a cheeky grin back over his shoulder. They passed one of the Facility's staff who gave them a knowing look, and Kiba rolled his eyes. Damnit, if his reputation got shot to hell because of this, Ino was going to pay.
When she was done being all cute and sweet and vulnerable, anyway.
