(It's unusual for a wiki to do this, so better be specific. It's implied that's the scene where she hugs him for like one second before he disappears, not when he is revived, as seen by the Great Hall background. DiZ confirms the Roxas connection) |

Riku finds her first, but she is in a comatose state, with a vacant, lifeless expression and a limp body. She'd lost her heart and because of her Princess status, her body remained untouched by the darkness that usually produced a Heartless. With empty promises by Maleficent, Riku was convinced that he alone could locate Kairi's heart and restore her to health. When inside [[Monstro]], Riku attempts to kidnap [[Pinocchio]] in hopes to use his heart to restore Kairi's. This act confuses Sora as he hasn't learned of her fate. His attempt fails and he is forced to retreat. | Riku finds her first, but she is in a comatose state, with a vacant, lifeless expression and a limp body.

Riku then brings Kairi to [[Neverland]], first bringing her to the clock tower. Sora finally encounters her body, along with a painful reunion with Riku; who is very defensive about her and ends up locking her in a room with [[Wendy]] so that Sora can't get to her. When Sora reaches the room below her cell, he extends his hand towards her, desperately hoping for a reaction as he is just now discovering the full lengths of Kairi's condition. Unconsciously, her hand twitches before going still again, much to Sora's relief. Riku then takes her away yet again, having new knowledge of where Kairi's heart might be. After the defeat of [[Captain Hook]], Goofy ponders aloud whether or not Kairi had indeed lost her heart, but Donald, not wanting to upset Sora, promptly shushes him. Sora, however, appears to be in denial, pondering over his disbelief that he could fly and whether or not Kairi would believe him. | Riku then brings Kairi to [[Neverland]], first bringing her to the clock tower.

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. 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. | Their friendship severed for the time being, Sora continues his journey, destined to clash with Riku in the near future once again over Kairi.

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 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. | However, once Ansem reappears and Riku's spirit stops him from attacking Kairi, she flees.

Although neither of them understand why they could telepathically share their thoughts with each other, [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] later mentions, "Naminé's encounter with Roxas connected his heart with Kairi's." When Roxas has a near-death experience after falling off the clock tower, his heart reaches out for help and contacts Kairi's. Confused, Roxas asks about the strange boy in his dreams and Kairi asks for his name, prompting Sora's heart to join in to jokingly chastise her for forgetting and give her a hint. Soon afterwards, Kairi sends [[Kairi's Letter|a letter in a bottle]] out to sea in hopes that it would reach Sora one day, and immediately remembers his name and possibly everything else about him. | ||
One day, [[Axel]] comes to Destiny Islands and tells Kairi to come with him. When she refuses, Axel summons a group of Nobodies, but is saved when she runs off into a nearby portal with King Mickey's dog, [[Pluto]], into [[Twilight Town]] and meets [[Hayner]], [[Pence]] and [[Olette]]. She befriends them, immediately fitting in with the three and going as far as to explain for whom she is searching. To her joy, Hayner, Pence, and Olette know Sora, assuring her that she could stay in Twilight Town until his next visit. | One day, [[Axel]] comes to Destiny Islands and tells Kairi to come with him.
