Well, I've decided something. Starting with this chapter, I'm not counting days for the rest of this story. I'll start over with day one at the beginning of the fourth part. From here, time is measured in the number of years since the last chapter.
Note: Hylians learn fast. This explains why the girls talk the way they do. That and I'm incompetent at writing dialogue for a five year old.
Note2: Anyone wondering about the origin of Blu, go read the reviews for my one-shot, Just a Fairy.

Hyrule Castle Town
"Mom, Dad! Hurry up! I wanna see Blu!" Kimiko had recently made a friend in town, a girl named Kitsune who was almost always on a sugar high. Everyone called her Blu for her hair and eyes. We were walking up to the door when we heard a loud yell.
"Demon! Get out of this house, monster!" Blu's mom was shouting. The next thing we knew, Blu was flying out the door. Something was different about her. The five year old had blue fox ears and a blue fox tail, and she was holding a sword.
"Blu! Blu, what happened?!" Kimiko was by her side in a second. Blu stopped crying long enough to answer.
"Last night, I had this dream. I found out that I'm a fox spirit. I woke up this morning like this, with this sword, Tobu-Ken. My parents saw me and figured I had become some sort of demon and they...they..." Blu started sobbing into Kimiko's shoulder again.
"It's all right, Blu." Kimiko looked like she was taking the whole weight of this on herself, so I stepped in.
"You know, Blu, if you want, you can come live with us." Well, that brought back normal Blu. She was so hyper, I couldn't even make out what she was saying. The only three words I caught were "beef ramen" and "sugar". Strange. "Umm, Blu? I think we should put Tobu-Ken away with my swords when we get home. I'll give it back to you when you're old enough."
"Okay. He was starting to annoy me anyway."
'He?' I thought. "Uh, okay..."
"Hey, look what I can do!" Blu started to change, and in a few seconds, a blue fox was in her place. She started running to the ranch, and we followed. Needless to say, she made it there long before the rest of us. She changed back, and I took Tobu-Ken and put 'him' away.
"Blu? You want to help us get you set up in Kimiko's room?" Kimiko's room had changed quite a bit. There was no crib anymore. The need for that was gone. The bed Malon and I had slept in until we got the other one cleaned up split into two, so Kimiko used one and the other was a spare. "Why don't you guys get everything situated? I have to go run an errand." Malon walked into the room just then.
"Where are you going?"
"I'll tell you later. I want to make it a surprise." I got on Epona and rode back to the market. I had fully intended on asking for "Kitsune's" things back, saying that Kimiko wanted something to remember her by, but there was no need. All of Blu's things were in a bag in the garbage. I picked up the bag and put it on Epona and rode home. "Blu? Come here, Blu! I have something for you!"
I could have sworn I heard her yell "Is it beef ramen?!" from inside the house. Hmm... Blu came running out of the house. "What is it?"
"I brought you back your old things." Before I could finish my sentence, Blu had dived headfirst into the bag, emerging with three things: A pouch of instant beef ramen, a big bag of candy, and a stuffed blue fox. I brought the bag inside, walking past Blu, who was making the ramen and eating the candy. What had I gotten myself into?
I hope I did an all right job with the Blu character. I promised that I wouldn't make Blu out of character. Not that the real Blu would find out for a while anyway, but... Oops. I said too much. I'll explain later, if you don't figure it out first. The next chapter is another five years in the future!
