One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the woods with Zodiac Ornaments drying outside and found out that was the home of Shigure Sohma and Yuki Sohma, a first year and most popular guy, from the Sohma family. Later the two found out Tohru was living in a tent. She pleads to stay offering to pay a rental fee for living on their property and catches a fever. Her tent is then buried in a landslide. Shigure and Yuki felt sorry for her knowing she'll get worst without any care, as they are desperate to end take-out eating habits and poor living conditions. So they offer her a spare room in exchange for housework and cooking.

Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family's secret: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac ("Jyūnishi" in Japanese) and the spirit of the cat who was left out of the Zodiac. They are transformed into their animal forms when hugged by an opposite gender or when sick. Tohru promises to keep their secret, and they allow her to keep her memories.
