Snippet #1776582

Ken let out a yell as he reappeared inside his bedroom, his head slammed against the wooden table with a loud THUMP. "Ouch..." Ken groaned as he rubbed his sored head, no doubt that a bruise would appear very soon.

"Ken-kun...what happenned? Are you okay, hon? I heard noises coming from your room..." His mother asked worriedly as he knocked the door.

"I'm...I'm fine, Kaa-sama...ouch..." Ken replied as he continued to massage his forehead.

"I'm going in, Ken-kun..." his mother spoke again and opened the door with a soft click.

"Are you alright, honey? Why is your head red? Did you hit somewhere?..." Ken's mother examined his head and asked, concerned for her son.

"I'm fine, Kaa-sama...really! I'm eighteen...not eight!..." Ken groaned as he tried to push his mother's hand away. Suddenly, Ken realized : He was back! He was back in his beautiful room! Ken looked at his mother again, his eyes lit up at the thought that somehow, he had managed to get out of that weird dimension.

Ken said excitedly "Kaa-sama...Kaa-sama...I just had...the CRAZIEST adventure...ever!!!" He proceeded to tell his mother about Mugen, Kai, Rima, Hikari, Silver, the Trox, his swords, the Muted Dimension while his mother looked at him, worriness began to appear in her eyes

"Ken-kun..."

"...and Silver-kun did something strange with his hand and then..."

"Ken-kun..."

"...and he healed us! I felt really warm and weird and..."

"Ken-kun..."

"...I thought I was useless and Rima-chan yelled at me and..."

"KEN!"

"Yes, Kaa-sama...?" Ken stopped ranting, clearly surprised.

"Honey...are you alright? are you feeling well?" Ken's mother asked as she checked her son's temperature, afraid that he'd snapped under the high pressure of schoolwork.

"Kaa-sama...I told you...I'm FINE!!!" Ken answered in an annoyed tone, figured out that his mother didn't believe a word he said.

"Maybe you should go to sleep, hon...you're studying too hard..." His mother began.

"I'm FINE, Kaa-sama...Here! Let me show you my swords...they're...here?" Ken reached for his swords only to find that they're missing "...what the...? I was holding them...I-I swear..." Ken panicked slightly as he looked at his normal clothes.

"You're just tired, Ken-kun...that's just a dream...don't worry...I'll explain to your father...you don't have to archive the top mark for this test...go to sleep!" His mother ordered and tried to take away the books from her son's hand.

"...alright...just give me another ten minutes...I just need to finish this small small calculation..." Ken grumbled and admited his defeat. His mother smiled and patted her son's head "Okay, Ken-kun...I'll come back in ten minutes...and take away your books..." His mother replied and walked out, closing the door with another soft click.

ken turned his head and looked at the books on the table while running a hand through his hair in distress "I...dreamed?...the whole thing was just...a dream?" Ken mumbled to himself as he remembered his dream. His eyes sadenned as he remembered Kai, Mugen and the others...Was it just his imagination? He imagined all of them? Why did it seem so...real?

Ken sighed and opened his books. well...I can't cry over spilled milk... As he opened the first page, Ken froze in shock. There! In the first page on the book was a drop of the green blood from the Trox...the only proof that his dream was real!

Ken sighed again and closed the book hesitantly. He wouldn't tell his mother about this...she wouldn't believe him anyway...Besides, this's his secret...He put the book on the table and reached out to turn off the light, running a hand through his hair again. He turned his head and checked the time...1:15...pretty late already...oh well...guess tomorrow I'll ask otou-sama's permission to study how to use a sword . Climbing on his bed, Ken fell into a deep sleep, his mind filled with Trox and strange adventures...
