Sohma Curse
From Fruits Basket Wiki
[edit] The Zodiac Sohmas Curses
The Sohma curse is a "bond" between God and the Zodiac. 13 Sohmas are possessed by the animals of the Chinese Zodiac and the Cat (see Zodiac Legend). Akito Sohma is the current 'God' of the zodiac, and her father, Akira Sohma, was the previous. Ren Sohma was Akira's wife, and mother to Akito, but does not believe in the bond between God and the Zodiac. Those who are possessed transform into their Zodiac animal if they are hugged by a person of the opposite gender, or if they are under a great deal of stress (such as sickness or lack of breath). Said from Akito, the Zodiac must all return to her when the Cat, Kyo Sohma, is isolated. When the Zodiac see "God" for the first time, for an unknown reason they all start to cry. One of the oldest maids living in the Sohma House once told Yuki Sohma's mother, "All of the others started crying too. What else could you call this but a bond?"
[edit] The Rat: The Highest Member of the Zodiac
Yuki Sohma was possessed by the spirit of the Rat, and, as told in the Zodiac legend, the Rat is the highest member of the Zodiac, and the one closest to God. Akito and Yuki were bound together as children, but only because Yuki was forced by his mother.
[edit] The Cat: The Irregular Member of the Zodiac
The Cat of the Zodiac was the one "left out", due to the Zodiac legend. But in the Zodiac Legend: Volume 22, the cat was the one who came first to God and was his closest friend. The Cat has three forms; human, cat, and true form. The cat's true form is warped and ugly, and smells of rotting flesh. Kyo, the Cat, must always wear a bead bracelet made out of human bones and blood to keep from transforming into that hideous state. The Cat is to be isolated after he/she completes high school, and then the other members of the Zodiac are joined in an everlasting banquet until they die.
