Now that I have that monster of a chapter out of the way, time to start
catching up on the C&C.

I consider it good form to credit the original author by name.  Not that
it really matters all that much, of course.

Oh yes...

Standard C&C Disclaimer:  All the below is my only occasionally useful
humble opinion, my only occasionally correct grammatical and spelling
corrections, and/or my only occasionally funny humor.

I like her.

I don’t love her. I’m setting that straight right now. I don’t
really know her well enough to love her. But I do like her.

I'm getting garbage characters here instead of apostrophes.  (I'm using
Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail reader.)  I suggest running your
stories through 3ft ( http://www.mono211.com/4ca/code.html ) or another
formatting tool before posting to help avoid this issue.  It will also
wordwrap your story, which will make it much more convenient to read.

I hid in a bush for what at the time seemed like forever, eating a
couple bags of chips that I had brought with me. At some point I
started hearing someone crying, and went to go see who was doing it.

The comma after crying is unnecessary.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but eventually came across a girl
about my age curled up with her back to a tree, crying like anything.

Likewise with the one after expect.

(though I seriously doubt it was anger. She was and still is someone
who never really got angry).

Though should be capitalized.

We talked for a little (during the course of which I noticed she
didn’t stutter nearly as much as she used to), she told me how Kiba,
Naruto, and Neji were doing.

The comma after a parentheses should be a semi-colon.

And every now and then, we go to the ice cream parlor and each get a
scoop (or four, in my case) of vanilla.

Aw.  Sweet.

Not too much to say beyond those minor corrections; it's a nice little
story and you did a good job of making a non-canon relationship seem
believable.
