A/N:
!IMPORTANT!
!PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE READING THE FANFIC!
Hello everyone,
I had something one my mind for several days and wanted to give it a go now. Everyone who watched the movie "Black mirror: Bandersnatch" will probably know instantly how this works, but I will explain it to you of course:
In every chapter I will give you three options at the end. Then you can write in a review which option you want to see in the next chapter. The number which is mentioned the most will win. If there is a tie, I will ALWAYS take option number 1.
And here it is; a Fanfic in which YOU can decide at the end of every chapter how the next chapter will turn out. I'm very curious, if there will be any replies at all but yeah, we will see.
Now, let's go and see what will happen!
Please be aware, English is NOT my first language and I don't have a Beta-reader. I am thankful for any comment which tells me the errors in my stories.
Thank you for reading!
Yours,
Leah
Your decision

On her way home Orihime hummed her favorite song as she held two grocery bags in both hands and walked along the street. She was in no hurry because today was a beautiful, sunny Saturday in May.
The song she hummed was the intro of her favorite series; Alien vs. Cyborgs. In the supermarket she had seen a poster that had immediately caught her attention and cast a spell over her. Soon, very soon her favorite series would come to the cinemas and she could hardly wait. Only two weeks left!
Orihime didn't notice when an orange fell out of her bag and landed on the sidewalk.
"Hey, Miss."
She didn't feel addressed and kept walking without turning around to the shouting deep voice.
"Hey!"
She kept walking, humming her song.
"HEY!"
And then she could no longer ignore the hand on her shoulder and looked confused at the person who had stopped her. When she saw a black-haired boy who seemed familiar and held an orange towards her, she was very confused.
"Ano... Why are you giving me an orange?"
The boy smiled.
"Because that's yours, it fell out of your bag."
Orihime's eyes widened and her mouth formed an "O". She blushed and bent slightly.
"Thank you very much, I didn't notice that, I'm very sorry that I troubled you."
"That's not a problem."
The boy looked at her from top to bottom before he realized who she really was.
"Inoue Orihime?"
Orihime looked questioningly.
"Yes..?"
The boy bowed much deeper than she had done before.
"I'm very sorry I didn't recognize you, my name is Ryo Umino, I'm in your parallel class."
"Oh, I didn't know that! Thank you Umino-kun, I'll see you at school then!"
Orihime bowed once more before she gave him a smile and took the orange, brushing her fingers against his without noticing. She gently packed it in her bag and continued on her way.
Never before had Ryo exchanged a word with every girl's school idol and every boy's crush, Inoue Orihime. Actually, he didn't care either.
Until now.
Because now his heart was beating fast and his face was warm, he could feel that. He also could feel the burning sensation in his fingers, feeling her skin brushing his own.
And at that very moment, Ryo decided to conquer Orihime Inoue's heart.
The said girl, of course, had no idea of this decision...

When Ichigo entered the school grounds on Monday morning he had a strange feeling in his stomach. Actually, it was a normal day. No, even more beautiful than a normal day. The sun was shining brightly, the sky was cloudless and blue. He heard the birds chirping and squirrels scurrying around.
But Ichigo heard a lot more this Monday morning then just some animals.
For example some hushed word's coming from every corner.
"Did you hear that?"
"No, what do you mean?"
"Umino and Inoue?"
"Oh that, yes, can you imagine that?"
"No! I always thought that Inoue-san liked that Kurosaki boy!"
Ichigo's vein was clearly visible on his temple when he heard his name. And who was Umino? What did Inoue have to do with this person? And how did these stupid girls come to think that Inoue would like him in any other way than a friend?
His gaze darkened as he approached the building.
"Psshhtt be quiet, there's Kurosaki..."
"Oh dear..."
He ignored the girls who looked at him anxiously as he opened the gate to the school building and went inside. On the way to his classroom he heard the name Umino several times in the same breath as Inoue.
Who was this Umino?
When he opened the door to his classroom and went in, every eye turned to him. Tatsuki's face was flushed with anger, she was really pissed off, Ichigo could see that clearly. He looked to the other side of the classroom and spotted Chizuru, who was also breathing heavily and seemed angry. Keigo's chin trembled and he looked sour as well.
Actually, this was the second in which Ichigo realized that something was very wrong.
Ichigo's gaze drifted to the girl, whose name he had heard the most today. Inoue was sitting in her seat, the blush on her face couldn't be missed even from a distance. She didn't yell "Ohayo, Kurosaki-kun" to him. She hadn't smiled at him. She hadn't looked at him.
She hadn't even noticed him.
And that almost shocked Ichigo.
He walked slowly to his seat and carefully greeted his friends, who greeted him back even more carefully.
When Inoue still didn't notice him and the noise level in the class just didn't rise even after several seconds and all eyes were still looking at him, he had seen enough and turned to Chad and Ishida.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
He was loud and annoyed and noticed how Orihime's gaze finally found him but her expression remained the same. The blush on her face, however, increased. And it still bothered him that he couldn't hear "Ohayo, Kurosaki-kun".
"Ichigo."
Said boy turned his eyes to Chad when he heard his name. The tall one tilted his head towards the door and gave him a sign to follow him. Ichigo was even more annoyed now and sighed loudly. He wanted to know what was going on and followed his best friend. When the two had finally left the classroom and were on a halfway empty corridor, Ichigo couldn't hold back anymore.
"Chad, what the hell is this? What happened? And who is Umino?"
Questions over questions over questions and not a single answer.
Chad swallowed.
"Ichigo, something happened this morning before you came."
"I've already noticed that."
"Umino Ryo, he's in our parallel class."
Ichigo thought the name was familiar but he couldn't put a face to it.
"What about him?"
"This morning he came into our classroom and went to Inoue. She thanked him for something."
The sick feeling in Ichigo turned back now.
"Umino asked her if she wanted to make it up for him. She asked him how and he said "Chad stopped here for a moment and swallowed again "he said that she could kiss him."
"WHAT?"
Oh yes, Ichigo got sick to his bones.
"That's exactly what Inoue said. Then Umino laughed and said it was just a joke and then asked if she would go to the movies with him."
"What did Inoue say?"
This question was difficult to ask for him, his throat felt sore.
"She said yes, then Umino kissed her and left."
WHAT?!
"WHAT?"
Ichigo was about to go limp. What was this Umino guy thinking who he was?
"Where is he Chad? I'll kill him!"
"Hey, Kurosaki."
Confused, Ichigo turned his head and saw the black-haired boy who had greeted him out of nowhere.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked annoyed.
"I'm Umino Ryo, I'm sorry, I just overheard that you want to kill me."
Ichigo's heart was racing as he realized what the boy in front of him had said. His head was literally glowing and his breath came erratic. Ichigo said nothing when faced Ryo fully and decided in that instant to choke him to death. Many hands on his body tried to hold him back but Ichigo saw red, he went straight to Ryo and grabbed him by the collar, hurled him against the wall.
The boy crashed hard. That of course made a noise and many students went out of their classrooms to see what was going on. When they saw that Ryo was lying on the floor and Ichigo was standing several meters in front of him, there was a riot and very loud shouts. In just a few seconds, Ichigo felt that the entire school was standing on the now crowded corridor, watching them.
And then he saw from the corner of his eye that Orihime had come as well. He looked at her and saw her looking at him and Ryo, worry spreading in her eyes. His face returned to the boy lying on the ground at his feet.
"You'll apologize to Inoue now and leave her alone, forever."
Ichigo's words were quiet and dangerous.
Though, Ryo was tall, he wasn't nearly as strong as Ichigo and he knew that. But that wasn't what made Ryo angry. His gaze went to the orange-haired boy and looked deeply and full of hate into his eyes.
"What do you want, Kurosaki? You're not Inoue's boyfriend, why are you interfering? She's not a little girl, if she doesn't want something then she'll say that!"
Ichigo's eyes darkened again at his words.
And then everything happened very quickly.
He reached out and his fist collided with Ryo's face.
The boy on the floor widened his eyes before he felt the force of Ichigo's powerful punch and his eyes rolled backwards into his head, he collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
"NO!"
Orihime screamed, terrified. Ichigo turned his head to her again. He saw tears flowing down her cheeks and the horror in her face. His heart ached.
And then he saw her running.
...
But where did Orihime run?
1. To Ichigo
2. To Ryo
3. She ran away
