==Story==
In search of Sora's whereabouts, Kairi allows herself to be put into a deep sleep in order to search her heart for clues. Recounting the events of her past and Sora's adventures as a [[Keyblade]] wielder, Kairi finds herself in [[The Final World]]. Kairi remembers being taken by [[Terra-Xehanort]] as a child and being sent to the outside world in the hopes of using her power of as a [[Princess of Heart]] to find a Keyblade wielder. Before being sent off, Terra-Xehanort mentions that if she finds herself in a world that is "neither light nor darkness, but somewhere on the other side", she is to abandon her search and the experiment has failed.  
In search of Sora's whereabouts, Kairi allows herself to be put into a deep sleep in order to search her heart for clues. She spends a year slumbering in [[Ansem the Wise]]'s computer lab this way while he, [[Even]], and [[Ienzo]] study her. Recounting the events of her past and Sora's adventures as a [[Keyblade]] wielder, Kairi eventually finds herself in [[The Final World]], causing the equipment Ansem is using to monitor her to fail. Kairi remembers being taken by [[Terra-Xehanort]] as a child as their world was being overrun by [[Heartless]]. He sent her to the outside world on a [[lifeboat]] in the hopes of using her power of as a [[Princess of Heart]] to find a Keyblade wielder. Before being sent off, Terra-Xehanort tells her, "If you arrive in a world that's neither light nor darkness but somewhere on the other side, your task will be far from easy."


After recovering pieces of her shattered heart, Kairi is confronted by a manifestation of [[Master Xehanort]] created from her heart. Kairi attempts to defeat Xehanort, but she is overpowered by the latter. Before Xehanort can deal the finishing 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. Kairi awakens in Radiant Garden and relays Xehanort's final words to [[Even]], [[Ienzo]], and [[Ansem the Wise]]. Ansem the Wise surmises Xehanort is talking about a world beyond reality. [[Riku]] arrives to check on Kairi and to 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]]. The Nameless Star informs that Sora is in [[Quadratum]] based on Riku's descriptions. While Riku uses the star as a portal to go to Quadratum, Kairi returns to the [[Mysterious Tower]] and chooses to stay behind to train under [[Aqua]]'s tutelage.

Before Xehanort can deal the finishing blow, Sora takes over her body to save her, though Xehanort notes his voice cannot reach them from where he is. Sora defeats Xehanort, freeing the final fragment of Kairi's heart. Before disappearing, Xehanort reminds Kairi of the words he had said to her before he had cast her from [[Radiant Garden]] as a clue to Sora's whereabouts. Kairi awakens in Radiant Garden and relays Xehanort's final words to [[Even]], [[Ienzo]], and [[Ansem the Wise]]. Ansem the Wise surmises Xehanort is talking about a world beyond reality; a fictional world. [[Riku]] arrives to check on Kairi and to share their findings, but they 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]], who tells them of her past encounter with Sora. Based on Riku's descriptions of his dreams, the Nameless Star informs them that Sora must be in the city of [[Quadratum]]. Riku uses the star as a portal to go to Quadratum while Kairi stays behind.
 
In a post-credits scene, Kairi returns to the [[Mysterious Tower]] to relate recent events. Yen Sid tells [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] to inform their allies of what they've learned and have them halt their own searches. Kairi chooses to continue her training under Master [[Aqua]]'s tutelage. Yen Sid tasks [[King Mickey]] with investigating the new world and how it relates to the ancient [[Keyblade Master]]s, starting with [[Scala ad Caelum]].
