Chains are Unbreakable.

Summary: The curse! It has to break before I graduate high school. It has to. Otherwise, Kyo!...Kyo. Please don't go away, Kyo. I'll break the curse so please…What do I call this feeling? Like my heart is being torn apart. Who is most dear to me?…Mother? Or is it Kyo?

Hello friends! I call myself "desire passion" maybe some of you recognize me. I read and reviewed for a lot of stories before I decided to get an account of this site.

Author's note: All cursing in this fanfic is replaced with the word bleep and there are NO lemons, yaoi, yuri, etc. It is rated mature for precaution. This I guess this fic contains some OOC (out of character) moments but I hope not I did the best I could….and Akito is a woman in this fanfic.

Warning: there are major spoilers.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or any of its characters. If I did, then all of the hot and sexy fruba boys would stay at my house forever. All of them would live and die with me and no fangirls could steal them! Ha ha just kidding everybody.


"One day God called all of the animals to a splendid banquet. Every single one of his creations was invited to the party. The rat,

cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, boar and the cat were supposed to come. He was holding the

banquet at his house the very next evening and he told all the animals not to be late.

The next day, the cat, on his way to the banquet, was stopped by the rat. The rat informed the cat that the banquet was tomorrow

and so he should go home and get some rest until then. The cat thanked the rat for his kindness and went home. There, he slept

dreaming of the banquet that which will always remain a dream. The rat had tricked the cat because the banquet was actually was

taking place today.

The animals decided to have a contest to see who could make it to the banquet first. The winner of this race would receive a prize

beyond all prizes. The highest of honors. The privilege of being closest to God.

The cow, the wisest next to the monkey, knew that a slow and steady pace would win him the race.

The tiger and rabbit went as swiftly as possible but quickly ran out of energy causing them to end up third and fourth place.

The dragon flew high in the air above the rest of the animals but he too long to land and so he ended up in fifth place.

The snake probably wouldn't of been sixth place if God hadn't taken away his legs and cursed him to eat the dust on the ground.

The horse, the sheep and the monkey were all in no hurry to get the banquet. Instead, all of them took their time looking at the

scenery and admiring it's beauty. They enjoyed their freedom and living their lives without a care in the world. The horse was seventh

one to get there, the sheep was eighth and the monkey arrived in ninth place.

When the dog and rooster arrived, God noticed the rooster before the dog. Even though the dog was there first, he was eleventh

place and the rooster tenth. On that day, the dog quietly swore to himself that revenge would soon be his. It wasn't fair. God chose a

rooster over him, the most loyal of creatures. However unlike most animals, the dog was patient and was able to control his

bitterness and jealousy. He could wait centuries for a chance to make the rooster pay for what he had done to him.

The boar didn't care about the race or the banquet since he was the laziest out all of the creatures. As he walked, he spotted the

cat sound asleep in his house. The boar shook his head in pity and knew that the cat wasn't going to wake up in time for the

banquet. However, he didn't feel like knocking on the cat's door and waking him up and so he continued along his way. The boar

finally entered the banquet in last place.

The rat, being smaller than the other animals, couldn't get there on his own. In spite of this, he really wanted to win the race and so

he rode on top of the cow's back. The moment they arrived, he immediately jumped off in front of the cow. He earned God's favor

by being the first one there. God looked at the cow and knew that he was the one who should have been first but he was too stupid.

God cursed the cow for being a fool. The cow allowed the rat to manipulate and use him for his benefit. Or perhaps the cow was

being kind and selfless because he allowed the rat the highest honor. Maybe he wanted the rat to be closest to God. The cow will

continue to assist the rat in the future.

The animals and God had such a splendid time that they promised each other no matter how many times they would die and be

reborn. Each year they would meet for the banquet. It was the animal's decision to come to the banquet each year. They made that

choice on their own free will.

This banquet became the center of this promise. The promise that tied the animals and God together for many generations to

come. This banquet loomed over the animals and God like a heavy shadow so heavy that it became a great burden. Thus, it was a

curse. This curse was the promise that became God's foundation. For a long time, God bore the core of this foundation and it

gradually began to suck the years of his life away. Soon it was shortened.

God stood above the animals and so he needed a guarantee that he could never be left alone. He wanted to make sure that the

animals would come to the banquet each and every year and so he bound them and himself in chains. Their chains were the blood

that pulsed through their veins. The world they live in is the banquet that belongs to them and them alone. This way God could never

be left behind and he would always be loved.

The day after the banquet, the cat arrived confused that none of the animals were there. God had stayed behind to prepare the

upcoming banquet next year. The moment he noticed the cat he cursed him for being late and called him a horrible evil beast for

disrespecting his own God. He told the cat that what he witnessed today, the preparations of the future banquet, is all he will ever

see.

God left the cat in a stunned state that soon turned into resentment. The cat knew that for the rest of eternity he will never be able

to get close to the other animals and that he will never get to see the banquet that he dreamed so much about. He could never enter

their world. He knew that it was the rat's fault that he is forever cursed by God and placed as an outcast. The rat received the

greatest of prizes and the cat was left with nothing. This bitterness, this jealousy, this hatred and anger toward the rat burned inside

him. These ugly inner feelings, he kept locked in the deepest chambers of his heart found its way to the surface. They warped his

entire appearance into an grotesque form. This form forever signifies the hate between the cat and the rat."
