Recovery

They of course knew where he was since he had passed the experiences of his first mitosis clone to them but they also knew what he must have done for that amount of destruction to occur. They knew almost all that he did so they were obviously aware of Saint mode as well as the sort of backlash that came with it. Knowing this they were very aware that the true Kenzo was likely highly vulnerable to attack at the moment should anyone figure out where he was. Thus the clones could only give assurances that everything was alright and that he'd eventually return but refused to give any usable information.-

For the next two weeks Kenzo was in a self-induced coma while his clones timed out and dispelled themselves. His hawk had been eating the stored rations he had in a scroll since it couldn't go hunt for food as it needed to keep the air in this pocket breathable. Kenzo himself was being sustained by the natural energy that constantly flowed into him but that didn't mean his body didn't hunger only that while he was still he didn't require food or water to survive.-

The thin layer of dust shifted on my body as I opened my eyes for the first time in who knows how long. My joints popped and cracked in stiffness from sitting so still for so long as I sat up. My stomach also roared in hunger letting me know I was not out for a small amount of time. My head was also positively throbbing as I was still suffering from some of the backlash and my clones having been dispelled didn't help at all though it did let me know that I really should let my sensei know that I was alright.-N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n

'First I need to fuel up as this gnawing hunger is rather distracting.' I thought as I retrieved a lot of rations that I began to devour ravenously.

Once my supply was effectively gone i was still craving more food but wasn't feeling starved at least which was good enough.

"I'm sorry that you had to put up with this for so long, I'll desummon you now." I said apologetically to my hawk who just screeched about repayment before vanishing in a puff of smoke as I sent them back.

I held up a hand to stop her fist as my sensei immediately threw a punch at me angrily.

"BOOM!" The air rang out with the sound of the impact but I didn't move a single step back.

"How dare you make me worry so much!" she roared angrily and went to throw another punch but I just stepped into it with a smile and hugged her.

"I'm back, it's okay." I said softly and she just sort of deflated.

"I thought the worst after I failed to reach you, there were no sightings and even your shadow clones refused to say where you had gone, why?" She asked clearly having been repressing her concern.

"I was suffering some backlash after using a technique and needed until earlier today to recover. I can't share any details here though, too many loose lips and hungry ears." I said honestly as I let her out of my embrace.

"I understand, we'll speak more in my office. I normally wouldn't push but a lot has happened while you were gone that we need to get you caught up on. And before I forget, welcome home." she with a smile.
