The 12 Junnishi, their lord, their saviour, and the forbidden

by Hatori   Apr 7, 2007


Ayame Sohma,
So affable and tender,
Possessed by the snake.

Hatori Sohma,
Aloof due to his true love,
Curse of the dragon.

Kureno Sohma,
Distant yet obedient,
Year of the rooster.

Funny but gentle,
Vengeful spirit of the dog,
The clever Shigure.

Secretive Sohma,
Zodiac of the sad horse,
Unforgiving Rin.

Hatsuharu-san,
Cursed as the year of the cow,
For eternity.

Kagura Sohma,
The spirit of the true boar,
Her undying love.

Demanding Hiro,
The young and protective sheep,
Cursed without escape.

Year of the grey rat,
Yuki suffers pain each day,
As he was destined.

The shiest Sohma,
By the name of Kisa-san,
Year of the tiger.

Momiji Sohma,
Optimistic by nature,
Curse of the rabbit.

Apologetic,
Ritsu, year of the monkey,
Forgives once again.

Twelve junnishi ruled,
By one man named Akito,
Until judgment day.

The one to save them,
The ever optimistic,
Tohru Honda-san.

The forbidden one,
Kyo Sohma is his name,
The forgotten cat.
