  Personality: Kyuu was found resting upon a beautifully crafted dagger, which lead to the suspicion that he will be a strong boy, maybe a little violent. Now that he's grown, he's calmed down a lot, though he still have dangerous fits at times. For the most part though, he controls his anger with martial arts and meditation. I suppose everyone has their own outlets.

A soft little feather, probably sweeter than he'll ever be later in life
He's quite an... Enthusiastic child to say the least
Kyuu has become a handsome young man, he's nearly as tall as me now, and certainly stronger.
I have a little trouble controlling his fits now, but hopefully he'll learn to control them on his own.
Though he may look a little rough around the edges, Kyuu is still his normal self, even though he's matured.

Possessions
Kyuu decided to name her Louisa, I think that's a good name considering she seems to like following him while he trains.

Day One, Evening
Kyuu, what a strong name. He was found near the back of the village, resting on a dagger. It is assumed he was preparing for a hunt or something of the like, and thus that he will grow into a strong boy with a willful demeanor. Currently he has taken the form of a feather, though I've heard of a powder to accelerate his growth. Maybe that's the way I will go with him, the earlier we can start controlling his anger the easier the time he will have interacting with the others.
Day Two, Morning
So this is the powder? Kyuu seemed to know what I was doing, it was comforting, the first feeling that he understood my motives. With this, he should grow before the rising of the full moon. I do hope his anger will be able to be made into something constructive, he could do so much with such focus. Perhaps I'll be able to find something he enjoys, sparring maybe. It'll be good to have someone to spar with. I fear I might have fallen out of practice.

Day Four
Not much to report, a feather is fairly easy to take care of. The powder hasn't kicked in yet, but I'm not worried, he seemed a little more excitable though. I took him to see a street fight, or rather, I took him with me to watch me fight. I made it through four rounds, then decided it was best to find something else to do, after all, I want to teach him self control as well.
After the fight we headed into town to try and find some beginner's training equipment for him. Ended up bringing home a heavy bag and a wooden staff. I think staff weapons might be the best idea for him, I don't know how he would react with a knife. At least, not for a while.

Day Five
The little feather has grown a my handsome little boy! He's certainly an energetic child, after a few hours rest he promptly started sparring with one of my older charges, Roscoe. I think it's best to start looking around for a staff to train him with. Nothing too extravagant to start with though, the first few staffs always end up breaking, so it's best not to spend too much.
He's a lot more controlled than I expected him to be, he already knows a few basic stances, so that saved a lot of time. We practiced with brooms today, not an ideal situation, but it works. Until we get some proper equipment I think it would be best just to work on meditation and restraint, he's got a lot of pent up anger.

Day Six
Alright, so I over-estimated his self control. Today while we were trying to practice meditation he wouldn't stop fidgeting, so I told him about it, and he pitched a fit right out in the practice ring. Punched a tree and broke two fingers. I suppose I should have been prepared for that, but he seemed so well trained. But I suppose it's only a small setback. Having to hold off on staff practice I mean, though I think I might have to find something else for him to let his frustrations out on until then. What though, I'm not quite sure.

Day Eighteen
He's improving, quite a bit actually. I spent most of the week tied up with another child that was having some medical problems, but I sent Roscoe to check on Kyuu every afternoon, and every time he went the child was out practicing. He seems really focused, and it's almost scary how strong he is. So far he's broken three staffs, so I figured it might be a good idea for him to try fighting hand to hand. The one thing I didn't count on though, was that he might be stronger than I am. I'm not sure how we'll handle that, but I'll figure something out.

Day Nineteen
Kyuu spent some time playing with the newly grown Teagan today. They're about the same size, but Teagan has a bit of an advantage staff fighting because he can grab Kyuu's staff away with his tail. But Kyuu was still the better trained of the two and he ended up winning after a few evenly matched rounds. It was close though, I wasn't sure they wouldn't be spending a the entire night in sparring. Honestly I wouldn't put it past either of them, they're both just stubborn enough to do it.

Day Twenty-Nine
Ul says I'm old enough now to write my own diary, instead of having her record everything for me. I guess she's right, but it was kind of nice to sit together and talk about our days. She says it's time I added some responsibility to my training, that I should wear this necklace that she had, it looks kind of familiar, and it took me a few minutes to figure out why. They're feathers, just like I was, so does that mean that these two will be like my little siblings? Kind of like Teagan, or the little one Ul told me about, Tangia. I hope so, it'd be nice to have siblings around here all the time rather than just having Roscoe or Ul drop by once or twice a day, maybe I could teach them to spar like Ul taught me?

Day Thirty-One
Ul gave me the necklace yesterday, when I went into the city with her, they were warm, you know, like they were already alive, but I guess they were because last night they grew into two sweet little children. She said they don't know what village they came from, so I guess they'll live with me. I don't mind, I mean, it's kind of cool to have a little brother and a little sister with me instead of just seeing my brothers when they come to train. But I guess I'm being repetitive. I went to the park a few days ago, I don't know if I wrote anything about it, but I met these two kids, Hikaro and Ryo I think their names were. Hikaro seemed really energetic, really hopeful too. I started to teach him some of my training positions, but I guess I'm not experienced enough myself to try and teach someone, because he hit himself in the head. The other one, he seemed a bit wary, but they seemed to get along, so I headed back to the village to do some of my chores.

Day Thirty-Two
Ul didn't come by today, but that's alright, spent most of the day cleaning up the cottage. Well, Shiro and I did, Kuroi seemed more intent on seeing how many times he could creep me out. I think he sees me as a joke, maybe I'll have to do something about that, it's eerie though, that he can creep me out so much just by hovering and not saying anything, just staring with those big dark eyes. Shiro's started talking more often, so I guess she's the leader of the two, but it's really hard to tell, they tend to overpower each other when they want to. Oh well, Kuroi just broke something, and I still need to write out their log for today, maybe I'll teach them to write next.

Day Thirty-Five
Little Past Midnight
I should really write in this everyday, but it's hard, I've been pretty tired the past few days, what with taking care of the twins and all. My training's been even harder to squeeze in, for my practice I need about an hour of peace, these two won't even give me ten minutes! I suppose I'll have to deal though, maybe if I took them to the Park they'd calm down, maybe take a nap. I hope so, I might have to slap one of them if I can't get some quiet time. Kidding of course, I know I have some issues with my temper, but I've learned not to hit another person, unless we're sparring, and even then it's out of necessity.
