After [[Terra-Xehanort]]'s defeat, Kairi is seen picking flowers in a large garden. She looks up to the bright sky, looking as if she sensed something. As she does, her necklace emits a weak glow. | After [[Terra-Xehanort]]'s defeat, Kairi is seen picking flowers in a large garden. She looks up to the bright sky, looking as if she sensed something.

Kairi later becomes very close friends with Sora and Riku, who playfully compete for her attention. She often supports these competitions, although she does not know they were contests for her affection and not just innocent rivalry. She bears no memory of her life before the Islands, and her mysterious past sparks curiosity in Sora and Riku, who are anxious to leave Destiny Islands and see other worlds. This leads the trio to build a raft in the hopes of traveling to other worlds | Kairi later becomes very close friends with Sora and Riku, who playfully compete for her attention.

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 | [[File:Destiny Islands 01 KH.png|thumb|left|Sora and Kairi watch the sunset.]] | ||
Kairi wakes up Sora from a surreal dream and pressures 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. | |||

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.

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 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. | Throughout Sora's journey, he encounters multiple images of Kairi without knowing about Kairi's heart being a part of his.

Kairi, now fifteen years old, lives her life normally on Destiny Islands. She attends school alongside Selphie, and has noticeably matured, sporting longer hair | Kairi, now fifteen years old, lives her life normally on Destiny Islands. She attends school alongside Selphie, and has noticeably matured, sporting longer hair. With both Riku and Sora gone, she seems to have become less spunky, often pondering the fate of Sora, whom she can barely remember. She misses Sora, but most of her memories of him have faded away because of Naminé's interfering with his own memories. | ||

One day, while walking home from school with Selphie, her heart is put into contact with a young boy named Roxas, later revealed to be Sora's [[Nobody]]. It is later revealed that Naminé's encounter with Roxas put his heart in contact with Kairi's, and Roxas' near-death experience after falling off the clock tower caused his heart to reach out for help. During this conversation, Roxas brings up Sora, and, when Kairi inquires about his name, Sora himself, despite being in stasis, somehow uses Roxas as a conduit to talk to her, chastises her for forgetting his name, and jokingly gives her a hint: "Starts with an 'S'!". 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.
