You do not get a piece back for getting your King across and back.

When one side has only a King and a Bishop, and the other side has only a
King and a Knight, the game will end in a draw -- but not because there is
any rule which says the game is a draw. It will be a draw because neither
side has enough material to checkmate the other side. If the players did
not choose to call it a drawn game right away, it should eventually end in
a draw by the 50 moves rule.
