This is my first Arc-V story. I hope I portray the characters well enough. This does circulate around the four counterparts though. This is an AU and there may be some OOC moments, so I will apologise now if people do not like OOC moments. Counterpartshipping and some hints of Pawnshipping/Spectershipping will be in this.

Enjoy Chapter 1 of A World Unknown.

Yuya's POV

I was sat in class, gazing out the window and daydreaming while break slid by. Not much was happening in school today, Yuzu had already attacked me with her fan at least three times and people were talking about rumours spread again. Soon, one of them caught my attention.

"Have you heard? There's going to be some new students..."

"Yeah, I heard. Three guys right? I wonder what they look like..."

"Haha, maybe they'll be in our classes."

"Ooh! I hope so!"

I was intrigued myself now. Three new students? All guys? This late in the term? It was almost the end of the term anyway... I looked around and sighed before the bell rang and the rumours subsided as the teacher walked in. She was a tall woman who wore a business-like outfit and had that atmosphere around her which anyone could call terrifying. She looked to the class door after announcing the arrival of new students and waited for them to come in. All eyes, including my own, went to the door.

The first to walk in was a boy, about my age, with yellow bangs that pointed upwards and blue hair. His eyes bore a rather bright blue, which could be called sky blue. He had warm ivory skin and his outfit consisted of whites, red and blacks. He had a white and red jacket which reached his hips, a black shirt and white and black jeans which went into black and red trainers. He scrawled his name onto the board. "Yugo". A few girls murmured compliments, mostly saying how cute he looked.

The second to walk in was another boy, a year older than me, with purple and pink hair. His eyes were a pink, almost violet colour. His outfit was a bit more sophisticated, with a purple dress shirt that went to red jeans and black dress shoes. He was paler than Yugo, around an ivory colour. He then took the chalk from Yugo and write his own name on the board, in a more neater and slightly cursive style. "Yuri". A few girls also murmured compliments, some saying how he looked very mature and rather attractive.

The final one was a rather mature looking male, about the same age as Yuri. He had black hair which went into lavender bangs. His eyes were a cool silver colour. His skin was darker than Yugo's, with a sandy colour. His outfit was a black layered hoodie with a green shirt underneath, which went into loose ripped black jeans and black boots. His wrists had two studded bracelets that were black and his neck had a black studded collar on. Yuri seemed to pass the chalk to him and the male write his own name, much more fancier. It was effortlessly neat and certain letters looped naturally with his writing. "Yuto". That was when the girls went crazy. Some squealed while others let out "oooh~!". A lot of them said he looked hot, attractive, mature and some I'd rather not repeat.

"Seems your popular, Yuto~" Yuri's voice slid out, with a poisonous silken tone.

"Shove it Yuri, your popular yourself." Yugo frowned, his voice was a bit unexpected. It was slightly higher than Yuri's, but the tone was hostile.

"Both of you be quiet..." Yuto shot a look at them and they immediately shut up. Yuto's voice was deep and mature, but it suited him perfectly.

A few more girls squealed when they heard the boys speak and most of them immediately got up to offer seats for the guys. The trio exchanged glances before their gazes seemed to settle on me. Yugo was the first to head to an empty seat near me, then Yuri. Finally, Yuto walked over to a seat. One in front of me. He looked at me and smiled gently as a few girls slumped into their seats, depressed no doubt. I was taken aback by the boys all sitting near me, but I was able to make out their features more easily now. Yuto had a rather defined jawline, adding the maturity he had. Yuri seemed to have a slightly defined jaw and Yugo was like me, it wasn't really all that defined.

"Hope you don't mind us sitting here." Yuto looked at me with a calm gaze in his eyes. I just smiled sheepishly.

"No, I don't mind at all... But why sit next to me? There's plenty of other-"

"Why should we sit next to obsessive girls who wouldn't shut up?" Yuri's voice was stern and held a rather hostile tone. He said it quietly though, so no one else but me and the other two heard him.

"Exactly. You seemed like a nice guy as well. It was rather stupid that you were sat by yourself, so we decided to keep you company." Yugo grinned, speaking a bit louder than Yuri did. Yuto just rolled his eyes and looked out the window for a while before his gaze went back to me.

"Changing the subject a bit, what's your name?"

"Yuya... Sakaki Yuya." I replied with my full name, since I felt like I could trust them.

"Sakaki? That's a familiar last name..." Yuto paused and went quiet. "Oh, Sakaki Yusho, right? I've met him. He's a great guy."

My eyes went a bit wide. Yuto knew my father? I was about to speak again before the bell rang. Wait, when had the lesson ended?

"Ahh man..." Yugo sighed and stretched out before he got up from his seat after everyone else. Yuri looked at Yugo and chuckled softly before he slid his hand over the unsuspecting male's hair, making Yugo jump slightly. "Yuri, what the fuck?"

Yuto's gaze hardened when he heard Yugo swear, but he soon sighed and looked at Yuri with a raised brow. Yuri soon smirked and checked his phone. Seems he had taken a picture of his timetable.

"Oh... Geometry next... Yuto, Yugo?"

"... Gimme a second..." Yugo pulled his phone out as well, before his face dropped. "Oh crap..."

"What?~" Yuri seemed to be intrigued.

"Physics..." Yugo's voice went quiet when he said the subject.

Yuri stared for a while before he burst into laughter. Yuto responded by smacking Yuri in the back of the head. He then looked at Yugo.

"Relax. I have Physics as well, if you need help I'll be right there."

Yugo seemed to breath a sigh of relief when he heard Yuto had the same lesson as him. All three of the boys looked at me.

"What about you, Yuya?" The way Yuto said my name made me fluster a bit. He said it so smoothly.

"Um... I have Geometry as well... You pass Physics on the way, so I could show you guys..." I went so quiet. The boys smiled, Yugo and Yuto nodded gently and Yuri seemed to hold a rather content grin.

"Alright." Yuto's reply was soft and he gestured for me to lead the way. I didn't even hesitate. Perhaps I'd be able to get a few more good friends here after all.
