A/N: For the 'Over' theme on Dokuga's LJ comm - 200 words, no more no less. Originally posted on April 25, 2011.
A 'throw' is a grappling technique where one fighter knocks the other off-balance or lifts them. There are several types of throws and it's a term that is sometimes interchanged with 'takedown', although it really depends on the technique. In general, a throw will change the direction of the fight - usually literally, as the attacker often puts his opponent on the ground with an effective throw. Regardless, they can be very disorienting.

"Well, you're not in over your head or anything."
Kagome glared over the top of her coffee cup. "Sarcasm isn't helping. I know I'm in too deep, and now, the entire department is encouraging it."
Sango shrugged. "Well, Sesshoumaru is still seeing you. He has his reasons too."
The policewoman shifted uncomfortably. "Sure. He trusts me."
"You still believe he doesn't know that you're a cop? That's naive, Kagome." Sango shook her head. "Lying isn't the only thing that he can sense a mile away. He's not just a male, after all. He's a demon, and they have instincts that can overcome logic. Mating instincts."
Kagome stared at the other woman. "You think he's keeping me around because he wants to sleep with me?"
"Not exactly. If he sees you as a potential mate, he's going to put your safety above his own. That's probably why he doesn't care that you're a cop, because that's secondary. Everything is, and that's not exactly a safe frame of mind when he's going after Naraku. He might not even be aware of the danger." She sighed. "And there's something else you should consider."
"What else could there possibly be?"
"Dogs mate for life."
