One year | One year later, Radiant Garden became shrouded by darkness as the Heartless began to appear in large numbers throughout the realm of light. Kairi was eventually targeted and stalked by the creatures of darkness. Running to the castle gates in an attempt to escape the creatures, Terra-Xehanort, who was controlling the Heartless for his own goals, abducted her and sealed her in a pod. Xehanort believed that if she was a Princess of Heart, she would find her way to a Keyblade wielder's world, but warned her that if she were to end up on the other side of reality, they would fail.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory}} | ||

Kairi would eventually make her way to the Destiny Islands. While Xehanort believed this was because her heart resonated with a Keyblade wielder's, her arrival was actually due to the protection spell Aqua had cast on her one-year earlier.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why did Kairi end up with Sora and Riku?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "It has to do with Aqua's 'magic'. Nine years before ''Kingdom Hearts'', Kairi was thrust into the outside world, and found herself on Sora and Riku's world. Ansem Seeker of Darkness thought that she had been able to search for a Keyblade wielder, but what actually saved her was the magic spell Aqua had put on her."

As Kairi sleeps, she seeks clues to Sora's whereabouts by looking over her memories of him and their friends, recounting their adventures over the years. Her search eventually ends with her in a replica of the Final World, where she finds her heart shattered. As she collects her heart fragments, she is accosted by a memory of Master Xehanort. Angered at his role in spiriting her from Radiant Garden, altering her fate, and causing Sora's disappearance, Kairi engages Xehanort in battle, but the elderly Keyblade Master overpowers her, taunting that she will never find Sora in there. Before he can deliver the final blow, Sora takes over her body and defeats Xehanort, freeing the final fragment of her heart. Before disappearing, Xehanort reminds her of the words he had said to her before he had cast her from Radiant Garden as a clue to Sora's whereabouts. | |||
Waking up in Radiant Garden, Kairi recounts Xehanort's final words to her, with Ansem the Wise surmising Xehanort is talking about a world beyond reality. When Riku arrives to check on Kairi's memories, they both share their findings, but are interrupted by the Fairy Godmother, who reveals that Riku and Kairi are two of three keys to Sora's disappearance. The Fairy Godmother transports herself and the two Keyblade wielders to the Final World, where they meet the third key, the [[Nameless Star]]. When Riku and Kairi recount their findings, the star recognizes the city Riku described as [[Quadratum]]. Riku uses the star as a portal to go to Quadratum, but as much as Kairi wants to join him, she realizes that she is nowhere near Riku and Sora's level. With Riku gone, Kairi returns to the Mysterious Tower and chooses to stay behind to train under Aqua's tutelage. | |||
