in a dream", Kim explained."Ah, let me guess, in your dream?", Kim nodded, "And you just dreamed yourself now", "Sure, I can do it", said Kim.
"Then make a dream for Ken," said Shadow, "I can't do that again", "So? Why?", Asked Shadow, "It just doesn't work," said Kim, "I don't know why, I've already tried."
"You were with him?", Asked Shadow happily, Kim nodded, "What about him, how is he?"
Kim looked at him apologetically, "I can't tell you, it won't work either, don't ask me why, that's the way it is."
Shadow sighed, "What are you good for then?" Kim looked at him offended.
"Should I go again?", Shadow shook his head, "It's good if you can talk to someone."
"Kind of hard to believe that you are just haunted in my head, that I am only dreaming," said Kim.
"As long as you don't dream that I'm undressing in front of you, I don't really care."
"Hey, good idea", Kim grinned, "Don't you dare", Shadow threatened, Kim laughed, "I don't."Kim woke up.
"Shit," he growled, but got up and went to breakfast.

Shadow sat on a rock and looked sadly into the distance, it was as if the wind was blowing something towards him.
"I'm thinking of you," he heard from the whistling of the wind, he smiled and looked up at the moon, maybe Ken was looking up there too.
In his mind he saw him very clearly, took him in his arms and held him tightly so that he would never let go of him again.
He threw the black rose petals in his hand into the air, and the wind took individual rose petals with it.
Shadow watched them go, "Fly to him, show him that I haven't forgotten him," he whispered, then buried his head in his hands.

Ken was sitting on the beach, a gentle letter stroking his head.
The wind brought dust and leaves with it.
He raised his hand and grabbed some of the leaves, then dropped his arm again and looked at the leaves.Among the dirt, dust and leaves he found three black rose petals, he carefully picked them up.
"Shadow," he whispered, holding the petals.
"I love you," he breathed, he put the sheets of paper in the medaliaon that he wore around his neck and in which there was a picture of Shadows.
The black-haired one had the same with his picture.
"You will never be able to separate us completely," he breathed and looked at the picture desperately.
"Can't you, dearest? You can't keep us separated here forever?"
He sobbed desperately and hugged the Medalion, "Shadow, my Shadow, where are you? Please come on, I feel so alone, so helpless, I need you, where are you, don't leave me alone."
Sobbing he crouched down, "Shadow", he whimpered desperately, "Shadow."
A little later he began to shiver, whimpering, curled up closer and wrapped his arms around his legs.
He thought of how Shadow had always hugged him warmly when he got cold and cried even harder.Shadow heard Ken's crying, "Not Ken," he said weakly, "Don't let yourself get down, we'll get through this, we'll get out of here, you'll see."

Ken had closed his eyes sobbing, and now, half asleep, he felt someone hugging him.
"Shadow," he muttered, "You're back, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone."
"Ken", he heard a soft voice, he opened his eyes sleepily and looked into two different colored eyes like his.
"K- Kim", the other nodded, sobbing Ken buried his head in Kim's shirt.
"I thought you were Shadow, my Shadow," whimpered Ken.
"Kim, I can't stand it, I want to die, but I'm already dead, I don't want to anymore, I don't want to live without him, better an hour with him than an eternal life without him."
Kim held him comfortingly, "You will find each other again, for sure you can do it, you've already been through so much, you can do it too."
"I am a spiritual wrak", Ken sobbed, "I am nothing without him, he was always there for me, he is the only one who ever really loved me, you know what it is like to be teased all your life and then suddenly someone appears who comforts you, rebuilds you, loves you and suddenly this person is taken from you too? "Kim looked at him comfortingly, "Come on, Shadow definitely doesn't want you to burst into tears here."
"I can't anymore", Ken breathed, "there is nobody here, my lover is forever lost to me, only the memory remains, of a time that will never come again", Kim looked at him in shock.
"I am really an old man, only through him did I get eternal youth and yet inside I am an old, tired man with a broken heart."
Ken got up and walked stiff-legged towards his shelter, he suddenly looked much older, like an old, frail man.
Kim watched him go, the other had given up, he had just given up the fight.
He could hear faint sobs from inside the dwelling.

Shadow now stood on the rock and let the wind blow around his ears.
He heard steps behind him.
"He's crying, he's given up?", He asked without turning around, a low "Hm", rang out, he looked sadly straight ahead."I should have known, it was clear from the start that he would not be able to hang on, he is too vulnerable, it will eat him up, hollow him out from the inside and my hands are tied, I can't do anything for him, I have I promised to always be there for him, but it's not me, I've failed. "
Kim looked at him sadly, "Don't say something like that, you were always there for him and even now you only care about him and you will find him again and help him."
Shadow nodded, "Yes," he continued to look out into the night, "Ken, I swear to you, I'll come to you, I'll keep my promises, I'll take care of you and I'll be there for you forever."
"Well then," Kim said happily.

Ken meanwhile fell asleep sobbing, he dreamed of Shadow, "I will take care of you and I will be there for you forever", said Shadow, he felt strangely comforted by it and stopped sobbing.

"Kim, you have to help me", Shadow turned around, "Ken will become numb and dead inside if I don't do anything, I have to talk to him, will you help me?"Kim nodded, "Sure, but how?"
"This is your dream, you also have a tremendous power here, you just have to want to, you can't bring us together, but at least try to see if we can talk to each other."
Kim nodded, "I'll try."
He sat on the floor and closed his eyes, Shadow looked at him hopefully.
"Now I know what I'm doing," Kim thought meanwhile, "I hope it will work, it's actually impossible, but this is a dream, nothing is impossible here."
He focused sharply on what he was going to do and finally he felt something change inside him, he heard Shadow's voice in his head.
"Kim, what did you do?"
"I have transplanted your soul into me, later I will release you again. This is the only way you can talk to Ken and him, I bring you to him and then let you control my body, but you don't have much time to do it it is very exhausting for me, this soul swap. ""Thank you Kim," he heard Shadow's voice.
Kim opened her eyes and stood up, Shadow's soulless body lying motionless on the floor.
He gave her a quick look and then focused on Ken, he suddenly felt very light.
He closed his eyes, when he opened them again he was standing in front of Ken's quarters.
"That's where he lives, I'll let you take control now," Kim pulled back, Shadow looked at Ken's house.
"Not bad," he said and then went inside, Ken sat on the floor and stared indifference in front of him.
"Ken", Shadow sat down, Ken sobbed quietly but didn't look up.
"Ken," said Shadow again, Ken finally lifted his head, the sight of the red weeping eyes hurt Shadow, Ken sobbed.
"Ken, do you recognize my voice?", Shadow looked at him waiting, Ken's eyes widened the next moment.
"Shadow", he breathed, Shadow nodded, Ken sobbed and threw himself whimpering around his neck, where he then began to cry uncontrollably.Shadow stroked his back reassuringly.
"Sht, Sht, it's good, I'm back, my little one," said Shadow quietly, "As long as there is me, you will never be alone, I am always with you, no matter where I am, I protect you and take care of yourself. "
Ken clung to him helplessly like a small child.
"Shit, stop crying," said Shadow soothingly, "Don't let it get you down, I know it's hard, but you must never give up hope."
Ken nodded whimpering, "Well then," said Shadow and kissed his neck gently.
"We'll get through this and then I'll take some time for you," Ken smiled.
"Then we'll cuddle in bed again, we haven't done that for a long time and I'll stay there all night," smiled Shadow, Ken hugged him gratefully.
"Thank you," he breathed, Shadow kissed his neck, "It's a matter of honor, my little one, you are the most important thing in the world for me.""I would have broken if you hadn't come," whispered Ken, "Now I have hope again and a new will to live, you have helped me again, as so often before."
Shadow smiled, "That's what I'm here for, after all."
Ken sniffed and then wiped away his tears.
"Bye Ken, I have to go, Kim can't anymore", Ken nodded with a sniff, "Bye", Shadow withdrew.
Kim looked at Ken, "Thank you Kim, thank you very much", said Ken, Kim smiled, "You're welcome, I'll bring Shadow back now", Ken nodded.
Kim disappeared and released Shadow.
The vampire got up, "Thank you Kim", Kim nodded, "It was natural."

At that moment his alarm clock rang and he woke up.

The following night, Shadow made himself at home in the cave.
"Why can't I have landed on an island too, but no, I come to such a stupid level and where I only ever helped people ..... ALWAYS ONLY HELPED, THAT'S IT!"Shadow beamed, "Ken, I've got it, I know how we can get back together."
He stepped out of the cave, "I hope it works, SHIVA, SHIVA, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, THEN LISTEN TO ME!"
A while later Shiva was standing in front of him, she looked at him indignantly, "What?", She asked in a bad mood.
"I want to ask you something: when do you go to hell and when do you go to heaven?"
Shiva looked at him puzzled, "Well, the bad ones, criminals, murderers and so on go to hell, helpful people, believers and so on go to heaven."
