"I'm gonna die out here."
"Quit your whining would you? You have Kiro and I with you. As long as we all share this pathetic body then you won't die in this place."
Kuro physically recoiled from the harsh biting words of the voice within her head. She had been traveling for what felt like days through dense woods only to hit what she could only describe as a swamp. It wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't physically alone in the swamp, mentally speaking Kuro was almost never alone. The petite dark haired girl had two mental companions to keep her company no matter where she went. Shiro the harsh voice from before could only be described as an alter personality of sorts, but even that was pushing it. There simply is no proper term to describe the harsh, cold, and often times very homicidal white haired personality that lived within Kuro. The whole reason Kuro was even trekking through the swamps was because of Shiro, and the other personality. Speaking of that-
"Don't step there."
"Ah!"
She shrieked, stepping into an almost waist deep pool of murky water. Moving through the sludge felt like trying to move through jello but the girl was already committed. Shivering Kuro waded through the water, continuously walking forward though it was hard to say if she was going in the right direction or not. "Hey Shiro, where's you know who?" Kuro inquired, her voice echoing about the forest eerily. She must have seemed insane walking through the waist deep waters while talking to herself, but it's not like anyone else could hear the very much so real and very much so alive voices within her head.
"Kiro? Why don't you try feeling for yourself. You ignore her to much."
The dark haired girl frowned but paused for a moment. Her greenish-gray eye closed for a moment as she mentally tried to reach out to the other persona within her head. It was incredibly rare for Kuro to even so much as acknowledge the other presence let alone reach out to it. However, touching and interacting with the being known as Kiro was like trying to keep water in one's hands, it slipped through the cracks with ease. Still, just by brushing her subconscious against Kiro's, the quiet girl was able to feel a sense of giddiness from the persona. It was rather worrisome at just how giddy that other being was. Feeling something brush against her leg Kuro screeched, nearby crows screeching right back at her.
"I'm gonna die!"

"Do you think this is the place?"
"What the hell do you think this place is? The other Savage Skull that just so happens to be in these woods?"
"What the hell do you think this place is? The other Savage Skull that just so happens to be in these woods?"
"You don't have to be so mean about it..." Kuro grumbled, single grey casting itself downwards as she walked towards the ominous building. By some miracle Kuro had managed to navigate herself, perhaps with a little bit of help from Shiro, through the swampland.
"Then don't ask stupid questions."
With a sigh Kuro frowned taking a brief moment to try and fix up her appearance. Running a quick hand through ink black strands of hair, adjusting the white eye patch covering one of her eyes making sure that it was secure considering she'd be mortified if it slipped, and doing her best to straighten up her rather ragged appearance. Slipping her hands into her dark coat pockets, Kuro finally worked up the nerve to approach the doors only to finally take note of what appeared to be two guards. "Oh no...." She breathed out already feeling Shiro itching at the back of her head.
"Let me take control! Come on! Give me control! Let me fight em! Come on-"
Grimacing, Kuro did her best to keep control of the shared body and managed to keep Shiro at bay. It wasn't very often that she could keep the violent persona out of control of their shared body. However, it wasn't an easy feat and it certainly took all of her attention and focus to do so. Which could only make her look more suspicious. Especially with her occasional muttering to the white haired persona. A guard began moving towards the short girl much to her dismay. If the situation couldn't get any worse, yet another persona had to make its appearance:
"Oh my~! Doesn't he just look delectable? If you won't let Shiro have a go at em do you mind if I do~?"
Kiro. A demoness. Another darkness within her head. No. No. This wouldn't do, she couldn't possibly keep control with both of the persona's trying to take over her body. She had to do something, anything! Taking a deep breath, digging her muddy boots into the ground, the shy girl did something that neither of her persona's would ever have expected her to do, thus stunning them into silence:
"I'M HERE TO JOIN SAVAGE SKULL!"
Her pale cheeks were dusted with crimson, a tiny tear forming in her visible gray eye, and her breath looked a little labored. At the very least both Shiro and Kiro shut up. Now all that was left was to actually join the dark guild, something that only two out of the three personalities really wanted to happen. Her hands were clammy in her coat pockets and the dark haired girl felt like she was sweating despite the cool air. Would the guards not let her in? Would they not let her join the guild? Was she too plain of face? Or was she too insane? No, she wasn't insane, Shiro was the insane one.
