A/N: Here's a drabble about Zaku! I love Zaku's character and I also RP him on MySpace, so I've decided to write a little drabble dedicated to him.
Title: One Star Awake
Character: Zaku Abumi
Author: Ohtori Akio
Rating: PG/K +
One Star Awake
For a brief second, Zaku felt his world dissolve under his feet and felt all he held dear crumble in his fingers.
Like sand in the ocean, like dirt passing through air.
He was little, too little to understand the pain of death or the anguish of loss.
He was so young, too young to be so alone and too young to be so desperate.
And Zaku crawled into a warm place of hiding, side by side with the only ones who loved him, the only one he loved. He turned his cheek to the white satin and began the sleep of the dead.
Now, struggling at the end of it all, wounded and weak and used, Zaku still can't believe that this was his time to die.
A voice inside of him—no longer a trapped soul, no longer a wish maker Orochimaru—calls him to rise.
"There is always one star awake." He says softly and Zaku, for all he's seen, still believes.
