Jumanji

Chapter 1

It was a windy, cloudy October day when Mokuba Kaiba finally got home from school. He walked into the grand estate he called home, finding it basically empty besides the usual butlers and maids.

" I wonder how late Seto will be at work this time…" He sighed as he trudged on to his bedroom to finish his almost-due Social Studies project.

After about two hours of heavy laboring about WW2 and his older brother still not home from his CEO position at Kaiba Corp. , Mokuba was just plain bored! He then decided to look around the wing being added to the house.

As he walked outside, Mokuba heard the sound of saw blades and drills all around him. He knew that his brother had told at least twenty times not to go around the construction area, but there just wasn't anything to do. As he walked through the newly erected steel frames, he… " Ahhhh!!!!!" 'KERPLUNK!' " Owwww… What did step on?" Mokuba said as he spit out the mouthful of dirt he had just swallowed. He stood up and looked wildly around the ground. Suddenly, he spied a wooden box peeking out of the ground. " Hey, what's this….?" He muttered as he knelt on the ground to give it a closer look. As he looked closer, he noticed some strange carvings on the top of the box.

All of a sudden, Mokuba started to hear the sound of distant drumming, that seemed to get closer every moment. " Wh… What the heck??!!" Mokuba shouted as he stood up in surprise. " the drumming got louder and louder, but no face appeared from the fog surrounding him. He looked around, but still no sign of a drummer, he eyes even looked over the ground. He merely glanced at the box, then, it stopped.

Mokuba instantly started to dig around it, trying to free it from it's earthy prison. Finally, the box popped loose into his hands.

" Jumanji… It looks like a board game cool! Cool!!! But what kind of game would have a freaky name like that?"
