For centuries, they have been forgotten, locked away within the minds of the dead, cast aside as bad omens or annoying.
When competing for a spot in the chinese zodiac, these particular 13 were held back by the ancient human civilization, being cast down upon for being as they are. Thus these 13 are the black zodiac, those who were unallowed to try for their places among the others. They hid away, only to come out to grant the wishes of those as lonly as them, and destroy those who were well loved and bring misfortune. Symbols of darkness and mischief all 13 have come back as the cursed Shin'en family, with a grudge against the normal zodiac, except for the regular zodiac's cat, because he took being rejected harshest and was betrayed like the 13. The shin'en family normally kept to themselves until recently, the new generation has thrown away their ties and refused to hold a grudge against the Sohma zodiac without seeing for themselves what they were being left out of. The sohmas are unaware of the Shin'en, but the shin'en have been aware of the sohmas for centuries, back when their ancestors, two twins who took seperate paths both ended up cursed, and their decendants cursed as well.
The thirteen are the Black Cat, the ringleader of the group, the Thestral, the mischevious yohko/youko kitsune, the salamander, the sphinx, the black phoenix, the faery with black wings, the Gryphon, the black wolf or otherwise known as the grim, the basilisk, the turtle, the raven, and the wyvern.
(sorry if it sounds like a stupid story, I made it up as I went along)
