A Million Choices

The Beginning

~J. Ichinose POV~
I know everyone has probably heard of a tragic love story. Some people consider Romeo and Juliet one, a story of two opposite sides falling for each other. I guess that's what my story is like, but my ending is one worth going for, too much to die for.
My name is Jason Nishikawa, and I've made many a few choices in my life.
For quite a while I've found myself very lucky, everyone from my abusive mother to my loving family had assisted me to where I am now. Beautifully married with a single child to raise along side my husband.
But that's not the sweet thing about it, it was how we met. One of my first choices in the important part of my life. You can look at how me and my husband met like a sign of pity, or dumb luck, idiotic love.
There were a million choices. And I chose this one.
Staring off, as a young child, my brother told me stories of how we were abused greatly by my mother, apparently I was the worst. I protected my brothers even as a young 7 year old, I knew I couldn't stand up to her but I always did. To protect my little brothers, even my big brother.
There were five of us, we were born at once, I was second after my older brother Kanata, and behind me was my little brothers Akise, Chiga and Levi. Doubtedly, those were our birth names, but it's what we remember.
It was actually midnight when us four were thrown out. The oldest, Kanata was the only one to stay. And not surprisingly enough, we were all separated, supposedly being attacked or random people picking us off the street, whom could remember after so long.
Myself, well I would've been dead if I wasn't saved.
Of that day, was quiet a horrid day. I was hunted down by a young ghoul, who had probably lost its mother. Ghouls being human-like flesh eating beings. They're not monsters, no, many of the people I knew called them beasts, monsters, demons; all the ugly words.
But I could never think so myself.
What happened to me was a man, by the name of Anazama, rescued me. He was a Commission of Counter Ghoul, or CCG as those come to know, agent, killing the young ghoul and reduced me. In return I was taken into care by them, raised to be a weapon. Choosing to guide me towards where I am at the beginning of my story.
