During this time, it is speculated that Kairi's heart chose Sora as a vessel and when she passed through him, her heart was left behind in him while her body vanished to some distant world. She then becomes the game's driving force, as much of the game's story centers around Sora's and Riku's attempts at finding Kairi. However, Riku is hostile to Sora, having been manipulated by [[Maleficent]] into believing that Sora no longer cared for either Kairi or himself.

Throughout Sora's journey, he encounters multiple images of Kairi without knowing about Kairi's heart being a part of his. First, when he wakes up in a motel room after his fight with [[Leon]], and sees [[Yuffie]] in Kairi's form and mistakes her to be Kairi until she tells him who she is. Later when he visits the Magician's Study behind the door of the Third District, Kairi appears to him and tells him how much the study reminds her of their Secret Place, but she disappears when [[Goofy]] calls to him. When Sora crash lands into [[Deep Jungle]], she reappears again for a short moment, right behind [[Tarzan]], then disappears again. Finally, before setting off to [[Hollow Bastion]], Goofy and [[Donald Duck|Donald]] encourage Sora to believe in himself, then Kairi says from within "I believe in you." before pulling him into one of her lost memories about her grandmother telling her younger self a story about the light. These encounters speculate that Kairi was experiencing Sora's journey from within his heart, including befriending Donald and Goofy.

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.

Right after being brought to the [[Mysterious Tower]], Kairi is brought up to speed about the threat of [[Real Organization XIII|the new Organization]] and the fates of [[Terra]], [[Aqua]], and [[Ventus]]. Mickey reveals to Kairi and Riku that Aqua sacrificed herself to help keep the Heartless from attacking Riku back when the [[Door to Darkness]] was being sealed. After [[Yen Sid]] assigns Riku and Mickey to rescue Aqua, Kairi asks what she should do. Kairi learns that [[Merlin]] will instruct her in how to use her Keyblade alongside [[Lea]], whom she is shocked to hear is the original form of [[Axel]]. However, both Mickey and Riku assure Kairi that Lea is now an ally, and even helped them save Sora from Xehanort. After Yen Sid gifts Riku and Mickey with new garments to protect them against the darkness, Kairi leaves to undergo her training.

During one of her breaks from training, Kairi writes a letter to Sora when she notices Lea staring at her again. Kairi deduces he is trying to remember what he [[Xion|forgot]], though he dismisses it. As Kairi begins to talk about their next training session, Kairi says something similar to what Xion once told Axel before her death, causing Lea to cry from overwhelming emotions. When Kairi expresses concern, Lea apologizes to her. Kairi tells him to stop apologizing and he relents only on the condition she calls him "Axel" from now on, to which she agrees to.

Shortly after, Merlin drops off the new clothes for Kairi and Lea made by the [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather|three good fairies]]. Kairi puts on her new clothes and cuts her hair and goes to speak with Lea about her desire to save Naminé, as she views Naminé as an individual and wants her to enjoy life. Lea then proceeds to talk about Ventus and how they became friends and how Roxas looks identical to him.

When Kairi and Lea finish their training, they return to the Mysterious Tower with Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and the newly restored Aqua and Ventus. Aqua recognizes Kairi as the little girl she and Mickey saved in Radiant Garden many years ago, and though Kairi admits she does not recall much of her time on Radiant Garden, she thanks Aqua for saving her. When Sora starts to feel down about not being able to have everyone back, Kairi tells Sora that they will save them all, including Naminé.
