Kiyone Kotetsu, Co-Third Seat of Squad Thirteen was heading back to her division. As she was approaching her division, she saw Rukia Kuchiki and the orange-haired Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Hey, Kiyone!" Rukia waved to the blond-haired girl.

"Hi, Rukia!" Kiyone smiled and waved back.

Ichigo just stared at Kiyone. The girl blushed as she was staring at his eyes. Even though this was the second time that she met Ichigo, there was something about him...something that reminded her of someone. His appearance reminded her of Lieutenant Kaien Shiba. His hair and his face. She looked at Ichigo as he was arguing with Rukia. There was only one thing she can do...she wanted to know more about Ichigo.

The first time she met Ichigo was at the Sōkyoku Hill where he rescued Rukia. Ichigo defeated her sister Isane, though he may have taken her lightly because she was a woman. Though she admits that her sister was good, Isane was no match against Ichigo.

That was when Kiyone started to have a crush on Ichigo.
