Kairi wakes up Sora from a surreal dream and tells him to collect supplies for their raft. Later, while watching the sunset, she jokes about leaving without Riku, then tells Sora not to change. However, before they can leave, their islands are attacked by the [[Heartless]], and Sora finds Kairi in their Secret Place. She turns towards him, looking sad and a little ill, and then a huge gust of wind sweeps through a door in the back of the cave and Kairi flies towards him. Sora opens his arms to catch her, but she vanishes right as she is about to be swept into his embrace. | Kairi wakes up Sora from a surreal dream and tells him to collect supplies for their raft.

Their friendship severed for the time being, Sora continues his journey, destined to clash with Riku in the near future once again over Kairi. Eventually, Sora follows Riku and Maleficent to the world of Hollow Bastion where he too learns of Kairi's fate. However, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, while possessing Riku, reveals that Kairi's heart has been resting within Sora all along, which explains all the visions he has had of her during his journey. Furthermore, Kairi is one of the Princesses of Heart, a maiden whose heart holds no darkness, and is needed to open the [[Final Keyhole]]. He then attempts to take her heart from Sora, but he defends himself to protect it. | Their friendship severed for the time being, Sora continues his journey, destined to clash with Riku in the near future once again over Kairi.

[[File:Sora's Back 02 KH.png|thumb | [[File:Sora's Back 02 KH.png|thumb|Kairi embraces Sora and manages to bring him back from the darkness.]] | ||
After winning a fight and driving Ansem from Hollow Bastion, Sora sacrifices himself using the [[Keyblade of heart]] to free Kairi's heart, and is turned into a [[Shadow Form|Shadow Heartless]]. Awakened as her heart is finally restored, Kairi runs towards him, but as soon as her fingers touch him, he vanishes. Refusing to believe that Sora is gone, Kairi prepares to fight the Shadow Heartless that surround her, along with Donald and Goofy. However, once Ansem reappears and Riku's spirit stops him from attacking Kairi, she flees. Devastated, she, along with Donald and Goofy, attempt to escape from Hollow Bastion. But just as they are cornered by the Heartless, she somehow recognizes [[Sora's Heartless]] from the crowd and manages to bring Sora back from the darkness by embracing him and promising to protect him. The group escapes Hollow Bastion, revealed to be Kairi's home world, and find shelter in [[Traverse Town]] where she could be protected by Leon and the others. | After winning a fight and driving Ansem from Hollow Bastion, Sora sacrifices himself using the [[Keyblade of heart]] to free Kairi's heart, and is turned into a [[Shadow Form|Shadow Heartless]].

Kairi appears in [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]]'s dreams and memories, due to pieces of Sora's memories finding their ways to them. After Roxas wakes from his coma, Xion gives him a seashell, and when Roxas puts it up to his ear, he sees a memory that depicts Sora and Kairi on a beach looking at the sunset. Later, in Xion's nightmare, Kairi is seen waking up Sora. Roxas sees a memory of Kairi during a mission in Destiny Islands and remarks that she looks like Xion. And during Xion's coma, she dreams of the time when Sora sacrifices himself to restore Kairi's heart in Hollow Bastion. Kairi is also mentioned by Riku and Xion when they were having a conversation on Destiny Islands. | Kairi appears in [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]]'s dreams and memories, due to pieces of Sora's memories finding their ways to them.

Because Xion is an imperfect Replica of Roxas, created from Sora's leaked memories as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans, her appearance greatly resembles Kairi, since Sora's memories of Kairi were the strongest ones when she was created. | Because Xion is an imperfect Replica of Roxas, created from Sora's leaked memories as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans, her appearance greatly resembles Kairi, since Sora's memories of Kairi were the strongest ones when she was created. | ||

One day, while walking home from school with Selphie, her heart is put into contact with a boy named Roxas, later revealed to be Sora's [[Nobody]].

One day, as Kairi waits for Sora's return at the beach, [[Axel]] appears, offering to take her to see Sora. Suddenly, [[Pluto]] appears to warn Kairi. Axel summons a group of [[Dusk]]s, but she escapes with Pluto into a nearby portal. She finds herself in a mysterious corridor, briefly seeing a hooded figure, then arrives in [[Twilight Town]] and meets [[Hayner]], [[Pence]] and [[Olette]]. She befriends them, learning they met Sora and that he promised to visit again. | One day, as Kairi waits for Sora's return at the beach, [[Axel]] appears, offering to take her to see Sora.

Unfortunately, she is found by Axel and forcibly taken by him, with Olette, Hayner, and Pence unable to stop him.

Kairi is devastated, thinking all hope is lost until she is freed by her Nobody, Naminé.

In The World That Never Was, [[Young Xehanort]] forces Sora into a second sleep, during which he dreams of the various people connected in his heart. One of these figments takes the form of Kairi, who is walking side by side with Riku, away from Sora. She then takes the appearance of Aqua, while the figment of Riku turns into [[Terra]], and Sora takes on [[Ventus]]'s appearance. Sora is incredibly confused, especially when Aqua and Terra turn around and walk away from him again, morphing back into Kairi and Riku. Ignoring the voice of Riku in the back of his head telling him to wake up and choosing instead to follow the pain in his heart, Sora chases after them as they flicker back and forth between his friends and Aqua and Terra. A long-forgotten memory of meeting Aqua on the islands nearly twelve years prior is recalled before Sora is ejected from his dream, landing in front of [[Xigbar]]. | In The World That Never Was, [[Young Xehanort]] forces Sora into a second sleep, during which he dreams of the various people connected in his heart.

As Xigbar and Xemnas reveal the [[Real Organization XIII|true nature]] of the Organization to Sora, he is outraged by their disregard for the value of people's hearts. When Xigbar brings into question the strength of Sora's own heart, he pauses momentarily before saying with conviction that the Keyblade may not have chosen him, but that he was proud to be connected to those who it did choose. Kairi momentarily appears behind him, Keyblade in hand, alongside all the other friends connected in Sora's heart. The immense power of all the intertwined hearts unnerves Xigbar, who flees, leaving Xemnas to battle with Sora. | As Xigbar and Xemnas reveal the [[Real Organization XIII|true nature]] of the Organization to Sora, he is outraged by their disregard for the value of people's hearts.

Kairi writes a letter to Sora when she notices Lea staring at her again; she knows he's trying to remember something. Asking Lea not to hold back during their next match, Kairi sparks a memory of Xion, causing Lea to cry. Lea apologizes for worrying her. Kairi tells him to stop apologizing; he agrees if she calls him "Axel" from now on, to which she agrees to. | Kairi writes a letter to Sora when she notices Lea staring at her again; she knows he's trying to remember something.

She tells Lea that she wants Naminé to live as her own person.

Initially, Kairi's abilities are rather limited in combat, and she cannot do much in danger. Oftentimes, she must rely on Sora or Riku to come to her aid, and as such, is easily captured, like when Axel merely grabbed Kairi by the wrist and dragged her away with him without much effort. | Initially, Kairi's abilities are rather limited in combat, and she cannot do much in danger.

After completing her training with [[Lea]], Kairi is shown to be a fairly competent fighter despite her relative inexperience. She is able to go toe-to-toe with much more experienced and powerful foes such as Xion and Xemnas, even dispersing the latter's Ethereal Blades and forcing him on the defensive until he is forced to use Nothingness to stop her. With Sora's help, she is even able to heavily damage and defeat the Armored Xehanort. Despite this, she does not have the reaction speed that other experienced wielders have, and as such, she is nearly struck down by Terra-Xehanort, and is kidnapped by Xemnas. | After completing her training with [[Lea]], Kairi is shown to be a fairly competent fighter despite her relative inexperience.

This is displayed again in her later fight against the memory of [[Master Xehanort]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'', where is she shown to be a crafty and pragmatic fighter who focuses on trying to catch her opponent off guard. She is also skilled with fire magic, perhaps due to her association with [[Lea]]. | ||

Kairi is playable during the final battle of ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind]]'' against the replica Armored Xehanort, and her playable form is similar to her as a party member.

Her Shotlock is [[Heart of a Princess]], which allows her to rain down orbs of light on the battlefield. When Kairi is a certain distance away from an enemy, she can use [[Strike Shift]] to quickly teleport to them, which will cause her to use [[Spiral Bloom]] as her combo finisher; otherwise, her default finisher involves her spinning her Keyblade around her, then catching it and performing a final slash. Like Riku and Aqua, Kairi defends using a barrier, and can use her unique counterattack called [[Starcracker]], and when her Situation Gauge is full, she can activate the powerful [[Seven Wishes]] command, which allows her to attack an enemy up to seven times. | ||
