Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts

Say, Kairi. What was your hometown like?

Sora to Kairi

1 year after the events of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Radiant Garden became shrouded by darkness and everyone was scattered across the universe. During this, Kairi was captured past Xehanort, after she was cornered by a group of Heartless. Xehanort told Kairi that their globe was nigh to fall to the darkness, and that the just way to salve it was for Kairi to assist him in an experiment. He told Kairi that he was under the suspicion that she was i of the Princesses of Heart, and as such, he was going to propel her off world to test any possible connection betwixt the Keyblade wielders and the Princesses of Heart, and if the experiment is a success, Kairi'south center would resonate with a keyblade wielder'due south middle, which would lead Xehanort to that wielder'south world. Merely before Xehanort sent her on her way, he warned her that if she the experiment fails and she ends upwardly "somewhere on the other side", then she was to abandon her search.^[1]

The experiment was a success, due to the protective spell Aqua had cast on her one twelvemonth before, Kairi's heart resonated with the heart of a boy named Riku and she appeared on the Destiny Islands during a meteor shower, actualization floating in the h2o on the beach.^[2] Just, equally a outcome of the experiment, Kairi'due south memories of her fourth dimension on Radiant Garden were repressed, and she had no thought where she came from. She was then brought to the mayor's house, where she was presumably adopted past the mayor.

Kingdom Hearts

And so, suppose you lot get to another globe. What would you do there?

Kairi to Riku

Kairi afterwards 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 simply innocent rivalry. She claims to take 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. However, before they can exit, their islands are attacked by the Heartless, and Sora finds Kairi in their Secret Identify. She turns towards him, looking sad, stake and a little ill, and 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 correct as she is virtually to exist swept into his embrace.

During this fourth dimension, 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 trunk vanished to some distant world.

She then becomes the game'due south driving force, as much of the game's story centres around Sora'south and Riku'south attempts at finding Kairi. Even so, Riku is hostile to Sora (having been manipulated by Maleficent into believing that Sora no longer cared for either Kairi or himself).

Throughout Sora'southward journey, he encounters multiple images of Kairi without knowing about Kairi's heart being a part of his. Get-go, when he wakes up in a motel room later on his fight with Leon, and sees Yuffie in Kairi's form and mistakes her to be Kairi until she tells him who she is.

When Sora crash lands into Deep Jungle, she reappears again for a short moment, right behind Tarzan, then disappears over again. Finally, earlier setting off to Hollow Breastwork, 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 low-cal. These encounters point that Kairi was experiencing Sora's journey from inside his heart, including befriending Donald and Goofy. This is afterward reinforced when she's talking to Sora in Traverse Boondocks, remembers showing Sora her grandmother's story from inside his heart.

Riku finds her first, just 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 middle 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.

In Neverland, Sora finally encounters her trunk, forth with a painful reunion with Riku; who is very defensive about her and ends up locking her in a room with Wendy and then that Sora can't get to her. When Sora reaches the room below her prison cell, he extends his paw towards her, desperately hoping for a reaction every bit he is just at present discovering the full lengths of Kairi'south status.

Unconsciously, her manus twitches before going yet again, much to Sora's relief. Riku so takes her abroad yet again, having new knowledge of where Kairi's heart might be. Subsequently the defeat of Captain Claw, Goofy ponders aloud whether or non Kairi had indeed lost her heart, but Donald, non 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.

Their friendship severed for the time existence, Sora continues his journeying, destined to clash with Riku in the near futurity in one case again over Kairi.

Eventually, Sora follows Riku and Maleficent to the earth of Hollow Bastion where he besides 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 Eye, a maiden whose heart holds no darkness, and is needed to open the Concluding 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 gratis Kairi'south eye, and is turned into a Shadow Heartless. Awakened as her eye is finally restored, Kairi runs towards him, but equally soon equally her fingers bear upon 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.

This time, I'll protect you!

Kairi to Sora's Heartless (whilst shielding him from the Heartless attack)

However, in one case "Ansem" reappears and Riku's spirit stops him from attacking Kairi, she flees. Devastated, she, forth with Donald and Goofy, attempt to escape from Hollow Breastwork. But just every bit they are cornered past the Heartless, she recognizes Sora'southward 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 past Leon and the others.

Sora finds Kairi in the underground water tunnel after talking with Leon. She states absentmindedly how much this place reminds her of their Secret Identify. While lost in darkness, Sora witnessed one of Kairi's memories of her every bit a little daughter wandering effectually the Hollow Breastwork library with her grandmother. Sora mentions this and information technology is revealed that after her heart was restored, Kairi could remember sure things from her by.

Though Kairi wants to assistance rescue Riku and stop the darkness from emanating, Sora convinces her to stay put, not wanting her to get hurt and also joking that she would be in his way; he also acknowledges that, since their hearts were i, they will always be together. During this conversation, it was revealed that Kairi's voice brought him back from the darkness. Kairi gives in and gives Sora her lucky charm, which doubles equally the Oathkeeper Keyblade.

Remember what you lot said before? I'm e'er with you too! I'll come back to you—I hope!

Nonetheless, Naminé says later on that she could never really replace Kairi and that she is only Kairi'south shadow.

Xion is an imperfect Replica of Roxas created from Sora's leaked memories as a fail-safety in example both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Arrangement Thirteen'south plans. She takes the visible course of Kairi, since Sora's memories of Kairi were the strongest ones when she was created.

Over the years, he most forgot Ventus until Roxas joined Organization XIII since the two were identical. Roxas was never told, because he didn't desire Roxas to dissappear as well. Lea is concerned that Ventus might non remember him, but Kairi gives reassurance equally their preparation reaches an end.

At Yen Sid's Tower, all of the Seven Guardians of Lite (Lea included) meet up likewise as Donald and Goofy to catch up. Aqua remembers when she saved her from the Unversed, but Kairi admits that she nevertheless doesn't remember her fourth dimension before arriving at Destiny Islands, only she thanks her however.
