A/N: Spoilers for the final few episodes of Yashahime.
When I watched the show, this was what came to my mind after the scene with our fav Honorable Lady Mother.
Look, I finally joined the party with my first YH content!
Stalling
That arrogant, petty wench. She is weak, she has no power nor beauty, she lacks style. She has no idea what honor and self-esteem is. She has not the faintest notion of what social rules are. She is like a child lost in fog, trampling all in her wake, unconcerned and unaware of her own idiocy. That is why she fell madly in love, tainted with obsession, with the first man who showed her kindness and friendship.
As if she had any chance to have his heart.
That deluded fool of a woman.
And then, when she finally realized that she couldn't have his love, she decided the best way of action was to meddle in the affairs of his - my! - son How dare she resort to trickery and cheap magic to tie her life to my son's wife's life? How dare she assume she can tame one of our superior blood. She had the gail to assume that her weak powers were enough to influence my son.
She knew that my son, as a man of his power and standing, would not allow his wife's life to be sacrificed for such a worthless excuse for a woman.
And what she got for all her pathetic attempts? She got killed by a half-breed pup, grandchild of the one she was so obsessed about.
Now she is walking down the final path and I will meet her before she crosses into the netherworld.
I shall talk to her, let her entertain me. I shall taunt her.
I shall keep her screaming at me, her attempts at insult futile, but amusing.
I will keep her on the path until my son arrives at the battlefield.
For there is one insult worse than being killed by a pup still learning how to use her powers - to be restored by the fang of the one she loved, wielded by my son.
Know that, you foul woman, that you will be revived by the heavenly Tenseiga, not for your own merit, but because my son values a human woman's life above the benefits your death would bring.
I shall wait here to see you come down this path again and will rejoice in the knowledge that you failed.
You try to insult me by mentioning Princess Izayoi. Yes, I shared his love with the human and I have seen her passing down the final path. But I find no insult in the fact my spouse had another wife, for I was and will always be his first wife, the mother of his heir.
You on the other hand, Zero, will forever remain an utter and unchanging fool.
