However, I asked Wolf what we should end it as. She said we should leave it up to the readers. So, reader, should it be Yura or a Yuriku? It's up to you. We need those votes.

Dear Diary,
Paopu fruits… they say if you share one with a person you really care about, your destinies become intertwined and you stay a part of each other's lives, no matter what. Yet some people believe that if you trick a person into eating part of a paopu and you eat the rest, it would work, too. I, The Great Ninja Yuffie, believe in this and am going to share it with my boyfriend. Err… he's not really my boyfriend, heck; he doesn't even like me like that! But when he eats - err, drinks, what I made for him, he will be all over me.
Next time you see me, I'll be Yuffie Leonhart.

Of Paopu Fruits and Broken Hearts
xo-XO-xo
Yuffie finished mixing the last of her 'potion' with a flourish. The liquid, surprisingly enough, was a peach-ish color. She plunked some ice-cubes in it and sat it down on a table, wide out in the open. Giggling, she ran out of the kitchen and into her room.
The juice was made from a Paopu Fruit.
Yuffie had left it out for a certain gunman, hoping he would drink it. If he didn't, oh well! There's always the hide-it-in-his-dessert trick she could try…
The creak of the front door being opened silenced her laugher. She pressed her ear to her poster-covered door and listened to his footsteps. They were heavy, as always. But… something was a little off. Yuffie frowned. He was walking pretty weirdly. He usually doesn't have that many 'thumps' when he walks.
The steps traveled into the kitchen. Satisfied with her work, Yuffie bounced down on her bed, took out her portable CD player and fit the headsets on. She would check the fruits of her labor later.

Riku peeked around the corner of a hallway. He didn't want to run in Cloud again. Silently he motioned for a boy behind him to follow him into the kitchen. He slowly crept, with Sora in tow, into the sanctuary of Aerith's cooking. Everyone knew the blonde warrior couldn't resist that!
The silver knight slowly surveyed his surroundings, looking for any evidence that Cloud had been there. Sora, meanwhile busied himself in trying to find a soda from the refrigerator. There was a mess of dirty dishes by the sink, but Riku expected that. After all, it was Yuffie's turn to do the dishes.
Satisfied that Cloud was nowhere nearby, Riku sighed and sat down at the small table. He watched in amusement as his best friend became increasingly annoyed when he found no soda.
"Riku," the younger boy moaned. "I'm thirsty!"
"Then get some water."
Sora glared. "I don't want water. I want something sweet."
"Then put some sugar in the water." That was Riku's favorite game. No matter what, Riku always found it fun to annoy Sora by giving him useless answers.
"Riku! You know that – hey, is that juice?"
Riku rolled his eyes at his friend. Sora always seemed to get distracted at something. Whether it's candy or Kairi or cartoons, he usually gets up in the middle of doing something and starts something else. That's why he had a C- in homework preparation.
Sora reached in front of him and grabbed the glass of peach liquid that was conveniently in front of Riku. Huh. Why hadn't he noticed that before?
"Uh, Sora, what are you doing?" Riku asked, giving the younger boy a quizzical look.
"Drinking this." Sora said in the 'are-you-dumb?' tone of voice.
"Well, Sora," Riku reached up and took the glass from Sora. "Since I got Cloud off of out tails, I think I should be the one who drinks this." Riku smirked and tipped the glass against his lips.
Sora, who had been standing the whole time, suddenly snatched the glass from Riku. "You're not even thirsty! I deserve this drink!" Sora quickly took a small sip before Riku could take the glass away.
Riku let Sora drink about half of it before he took the glass away again, saying, "there. You had your drink. Now I'll have some." He chose a different place on the cup beside where Sora had drank from. Who knew where his mouth had been?
"Hey, Riku?" Sora asked when Riku had taken a big gulp.
"Mumff?" He meant to say, "What?"
"Why do I suddenly like Yuffie?"
xo-XO-xo
Yuffie wordlessly flipped through her CD collection. She had already finished her green Day one (skipping to her favorite songs, of course) and wanted to listen to Good Charlotte. Now where did she put it? Did she leave it at Kairi's? Selphie's? Or in her other CD player? Or was it—
Bam. Bam. Bam.
Yuffie nearly shrieked when she heard a knock on her door. Her hear still pounding, she slowly opened it a bit. "Squallie!" Her crush was standing in her doorway, looking extremely pissed. But she didn't notice that. Nope, she only thought he was there because he drank the paopu juice.
"Yuffie," he paused as a loud crash emitted from the kitchen. The ninja blinked. She must have missed something.
"Did Cloud find out it was Sora and Riku who put the maple syrup in his underwear drawer?" She innocently asked, wondering when Squall would romantically sweep her off her feet.
"No." Another pause. "It was them?"
Yuffie nodded. "I caught them and they made me promise not to tell on them."
"Great," Squall growled. He turned his head to look down the hallway in the general direction of the kitchen. "That wasn't Cloud's drawer. It was mine."
Okay, that's a fine, but where's the kissing and suck? Yuffie though. She crossed her arms and gave the gunman a look that read, 'Go on,'
Leon turned to face her again. "Do you have any idea why Riku and Sora are fighting in the kitchen?" Yuffie waved it off.
"They do that all the time! Now, did you drink—"
"No, listen to me Yuffie!" he interrupted. "Sora and Riku are fist fighting. And they're saying your name." He gave her a look. "Do you know why?"
Yuffie returned his look and brushed past him. As she got closer to the kitchen the crashes became louder and louder. But, it was not a long hallway, yet Yuffie likes to pretend she's the main character in a spy movie. Ever so slowly, she peeked around the hall and gasped.
Squall wasn't lying.
xo-Xo-xo
"Now, tell me," Yuffie took a dramatic pause. "Why were you two destroying Aerith's kitchen?"
After an hour of stopping the fighting pair, Yuffie and Squall had sat them down and were going to find out what they were fighting over. But, Squall abandoned her. Poor, innocent Yuffie was left to interrogate the two by her self. Although she like the whole good cop/bad cop thing, it was easier when Squall, the bad cop, was there with her.
"It was Riku's fault!" Sora said, pointing at his best friend. "He made me drink it!"
"Wait." Yuffie scratched her head. "You guys were the ones who drank my paopu juice?"
"THAT WAS PAOPU JUICE!" Riku nearly yelled. He slapped his forehead. Yuffie blushed. "No wonder Sora likes you now!"
"Hey!" Sora glared at Riku. "You like her, too. Love her, even!"
Yuffie just sat still as a statue when the two boys in front of her started fighting for the second time. Sora and Riku drank it? Not Squall? She was destined to be with both of them forever? "Argh! How can I be so friggin' stupid?" Yuffie buried her head in her hands.
Squall had to come back into the room to separate the boys again. Yuffie however, didn't move or help this time.
How am I going to explain THIS mess to Aerith?
How was the first chapter? Good? Bad? Rushed? Short? (Defiantly short) Well, I think Leon-kins seems OoC. Sorry. I was writing that with people looking over my shoulder. Anyway, stay tuned for Wolf Fangs chapter, I have a feeling it's going to rock!
