A Kakeru move is a karate chop to the top of the head. First used in manga #13, chapter 73. Kakeru uses it on Naohito when Naohito throws out the sign that Kakeru made that says School Defense Force.
Chapter 6 The Beginning"It all began when I was six years old. I was born here, in Japan, and grew up here. Oh, and I wasn't born with my powers like you were, Hana-Chan, I got them on this day. I never really fit in at my school. I was always daydreaming and doodling, never really paying attention to the world around me. Well, one day, some big boys started chasing me and throwing sticks and stones and things at me. I was terrified and ran, I'm not a very fast runner, but they got bored quickly, and left me alone."
"Oh," Tohru said, that sounds like what happened to me!" And she very quickly told Sakura her story.
"Wow! That's so cool! Our stories are so similar." Sakura said smiling, then her face became sad and her eyes crinkled up slightly, "But, unlike you, I didn't have prince to rescue me. I remember finding this big, long wall, and walking along it. Then I found a small hole in the side, covered by a shrub. The only reason I found it was because I tripped and landed against it and fell in. I landed in a really beautiful garden. I started wandering around, because it was in spring, o all the blossoms were out and they were so beautiful!"
"Yeah, yeah, real pretty, now what happened next?" Kyo was feeling uncomfortable, this sounded kind of like Sohma house.
Sakura glared at him, "As I was saying, it was really gorgeous. And I remember walking around for a very long time, then getting scared because I was lost. Then I saw a really handsome boy, and he was crying." She screwed her face trying to remember more, "I don't remember what he looked like, or what happened next. All I now, was that, I woke up in my bed. And my parents told me I had disappeared! And for a whole month! Shortly after that, I started getting plagued by visions of the future. I finally got the hang of controlling my powers when I was about 13. I also figured out how to see into the past. I've tried and tried to use my powers to find out what happened, but I can't seem to."
"So, you have no idea how you got your powers?" Yuki asked, slightly disappointed.
"well…" the storyteller said, "I do have a theory…"
"yah? What is it? Come on, you can't leave us hanging like this!" Uo-Chan said excitedly, "Do you think that boy gave you powers?"
"no…" Sakura said, very slowly, "I've read that… physical trauma… can result in a person using parts of the mind, they couldn't before. That's what I think happened."
"Phy-Physical trauma?" Tohru asked in a shaking voice, "did, did something… happen to you there?"
Sakura looked long and hard at Tohru, who squirmed uner her gaze, "…yes"

Sakura had left, shortly after making that announcement. Hana-Chan had encouraged them to leave her alone for a while.
"after all," she said, "she's revealed her secret to almost complete strangers."
"hey, why did she trust us?" Uo-Chan wondered.
"she said she sensed kindred spirits in the Sohmas," Uo-Chan said, completely ignoring Yuki and Kyo, "and she knew she could trust me because I trusted her with my past. And I assured her that you and Tohru-Kun could be trusted." She left, shortly after Sakura, and Uo-Chan followed suit.
"Ah! Yuki-Kun!" Tohru said, alarmed, for she had just realized how sad he looked, "would, would you like to, um, go to the secret base?"
He looked at her, a hopeful smile on her face, and he remembered that he loved her, as his heart pounded in his chest. Sakura-Chan, no, Lee-San, was just a friend. Honda-San was the one who he loved with his entire being. She was the one who had accepted him, all of him. She had been the one to give him hope, all those years ago, had made him feel, needed. As a person, not as a vessel for a vengeful spirit.
"of course, Honda-San. I would love too," he said and he gave her his most dazzling smile. Last night still rang painfulling in his head, how she had run after Kyo, but he had put it down to her being so kind. Just like how she had run after Kyo when she saw him in his other form. There was nothing to it. She was kind, generous, sweet, and beautiful. Everything he had ever dreamed of in a mother… NO! In a wonderful sweet girlfriend. He loved her, like a man loves his wife.
Right?
