Kisuke grinned after hearing her words and said, "I want your life."
Line froze for a moment, before muttering in confusion, "M-my life?"
Loki, on the other hand, furrowed her brows, "Kisuke... What do you mean by that? She won't be coming to the Hestia Familia. I won't allow it."
Kisuke shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that she has to come to the Hestia Familia, but she will have to take some heavy vows that can essentially tie her life to us. That's why I said I want her life." He then looked towards Line before continuing, "I'm not as kind and trusting as Yoruichi, so I need some shackles on you."
Line pursed her lips and stayed silent for a few moments before asking, "Please tell me what vows I have to take."
Kisuke nodded and said, "First is to never reveal any information about us without our prior knowledge. This comes as a standard as I also need Riveria-san to take the same vow."
Line nodded as she's already expecting this, "I'll do that."
"Second is that you are never against the Hestia Familia. Meaning, if the Loki Familia and Hestia Familia were to become enemies, you wouldn't be allowed to join any side."
Line first looked towards Loki to get her opinion on this, and indeed, Loki spoke up, but not for Line, "Will you be asking for the same thing to Riveria? Then I'm sure she won't agree to that."
Line felt a little bit disappointed when she heard Loki prioritising Riveria, but also understood her as her and Riveria's positions and abilities were like heaven and earth.
Loki knew what Line was thinking so she said, "Don't misunderstand, Line-chan. You're also an important child of my Familia, but it seems that Kisuke here has something else for you. And you're friends with those girls, right? You could think of it as insurance so that you won't become enemies in the future regardless of the relationship between my and Hestia's Familia."
Line felt relieved after hearing that.
Answering Loki's question, Kisuke said, "Of course I won't be asking Riveria-san that kind of vow. It's just as you said, I have something else for Arshe-san. I would only be teaching magic to Riveria-san but Arshe-san will technically be my disciple in regards to my medical skills that I'm planning to pass onto her."
Line's eyes widened at his words and she looked towards Loki. Loki knew what she wanted so she just smiled and nodded at her. Line happily smiled after getting her Goddess' approval and bowed down towards Kisuke, "I'll accept the second condition too. Please take me as your disciple!" Line already caught a glimpse of Kisuke's healing skills when they were partying together and she was sure that no one else outside of the Hestia Familia knew about it, so she was very happy to learn something from him.
Kisuke raised his hand to stop her, "You haven't heard the third condition yet."
Line sat back down and intently waited for him to continue speaking.
"I will need you to vow to follow all of my commands. This condition is what essentially ties your life to me."
"That's..." Line hesitated.
"Kisuke." Even Loki didn't like that one.
Kisuke smiled, but instead of replying, he raised his right hand and said, "I swear to my Falna that I'll never give Line Arshe any commands that go against her morals and beliefs." As soon as he finished his sentence, the Falna on Kisuke's back suddenly lit up in golden light through his clothes, signifying the establishment of the vow. If he were to break this vow, Hestia's blessing would cease to exist and he would never be able to receive blessings from any other Gods. In addition to that, there was a chance that he would die from shock if this were to happen, but that wasn't a problem for Kisuke.
Line, Loki, and Hestia's eyes widened in shock at his sudden vow that didn't hold any sort of hesitation, "You..." Loki muttered before laughing out loud, "Fuhahaha! I like that! You do things without hesitation!"
"This is the least I can do to give Arshe-san the confidence she needs to agree to my conditions." Kisuke only chuckled.
Loki then faced Line, "What about you?"
Even though she said that she would be accepting the vows, she still had reservations as she didn't know what the future held and if this was really the right choice. It was true that she could learn from Kisuke and that would be her greatest fortune yet, but the possibility of him using her vows to do something to her and her Familia kept her fearing for the future.
But after seeing Kisuke's unhesitant vow, she swallowed her saliva and stood up, raising her right hand, "I swear to my Falna that I won't reveal any informations to anyone regarding the members of the Hestia Familia without prior permission to do so."
After that, Line's back lit up with red light, establishing the vow. But she wasn't done yet so she continued, "I swear to my Falna that I'll never go against the members of the Hestia Familia regardless of whoever they regard as their enemy."
"I swear to my Falna that I'll follow Kisuke Urahara's every command as long as it doesn't go against my morals and beliefs."
Her back lit up two more times before she finished her vows. Sighing, Line looked towards Kisuke with shining eyes, "Is that enough, teacher?"
Kisuke nodded and accepted her calling him 'teacher', "That'll be enough. If an additional vow is needed, we'll do it in front of our Goddesses."
Bowing in front of him again, "Thank you very much for accepting me!"
Kisuke signalled Line to sit back down and turned his head towards Loki, "Now then, Loki-sama."
Opening her eyes, Loki grinned, "Want me to take a vow too to suppress the information? Never~."
Sighing, Kisuke gave up, "Figures."
"But you can trust me." Loki continued.
Kisuke and Loki eyes' locked at each other. A few seconds later, Kisuke backed down, "Since you're entrusting your children to me, I guess it's fine as long as you promise me that you won't reveal anything."
Loki's grin didn't disappear as she replied, "You also know I can't promise that."
Kisuke stayed quiet. He was also expecting this response but thanks to that kind of answer, he knew that he could trust her promises, "Then please at least tell me if you reveal our information to others and why."
Chuckling, Loki replied, "That, I can promise."
Standing up, Kisuke invited everyone, including Riveria, who was still silently sipping her drink, "Great. Then please follow me."
Hestia silently followed Kisuke who was already exiting the room while Line hurriedly followed after taking a peek at Loki who was urging the still in trance High Elf by grabbing her hand to follow the group.
