chapter one- the sohma family curse

The head of the shoma family was mean. He flaunted the fact that everyone in the shoma family depended on him. He was never sick and got ever thing and ever one he ever wanted.

One day he was going out to drink. He was at an upper class bar when he saw the most beautiful woman in all of Japan. He was considered the most hansom man so he had his brother go find out who she was.

When his brother came back he told him that she was from one of the weathyist families in all of Japan. He got an idea. She was beautiful and rich. He loved money more then anything else. He decided that he would make arrangements for his marriage to her. Soon after they were married.

Sometime after the emperor was holding a race in which the winners family could marry his daughter, and he could become the new emperor when he died.

When the head heard this he wanted it strait away. He decided that he would have a race of the 13 best runners in his family. The winner would race in the emperors race.

His brother always fought with his cousin Occoso. Occoso hated him with a fiery passion. And he wanted to shame him. The head told Occoso to tell every one when the race is. Occoso decided that he would tell the cat it was the day after the race. So he was sure to win.

Once the race was done the head went to the finish excepting to see his brother their but instead found Occoso. So he paid Occoso to race in the emperors race.

The heads wife was wondering who he was going to have marry the emperors kid, so she asked him. He said that he was going to and all he wanted from her was her families money.

She cried and ran off to her gypsy friend. She told her the whole thing. She said she knows a way to get even with all Sohma's involved.

A couple days later the emperor had his race and Occoso. The head was feeling a little ill but he pushed it aside. He went to go collate his prize. When he was introducing himself his brother came out and punched Occoso into a woman in the crowd. He turned into a rat. Every one spaded out and the ones who were in the race transformed into the animal they placed as. And the heads brother turned into a cat.

The gypsy told them all "you are all members of the zodiac. Sense you instead on acting out the race down to the cat. I made you what you act like. When you are stressed or are hugged by a member of the opposite sex you will turn into your zodiac animal."

The heads brother being the cat got angry. He thought that the cat was too foolish for him and attacked the gypsy. The gypsy put an access curse on him. Turning him into an ugly, smelly best. Everyone ran at the site of him. She took pity on him and gave him a charm that made him normal but if he ever took it off then he would become that monster.

The family that was used name is Handa.
