Did someone delete a post in between my two?
I believe that he just let his emotions cloud his vision, and he got manipulated due to that.
edit: did I really just say that? I think I need to lay off the star wars games for awhile.:(

Yeah, Riku was never bad. He simply believed Sora wasn't strong enough to save Kairi and would do anything to prove it. He didn't believe that Sora truly cared about them. He was manipulated into thinking that Sora cared more about Donald and Goofy than he ever could about his own friends.
The thing which made Riku the original Keyblade master was his unwavering courage. In his heart, he wasn't afraid of anything, including the darkness. However, his courage turned more into audacity. He was willing to save Kairi and see the other worlds even if it cost him his heart and soul. He tried to get even more power to fulfill his dreams from the darkness, but eventually, when you play with the fire too much, you'll get burned. So the darkness took him over, and he became controlled by the very thing which he thought he'd be immune to. Eventually, he just wanted more power, and he forgot all about his actual dream. SeeDRankLou and Chibi Youkai, I can see the connection to Star Wars in this, as that's pretty much what happened to Anakin too.
How Kairi's heart got inside Sora was never explained really well, but I always thought it went inside Sora when Destiny Islands were destroyed early in the game. Sora enters the secret place, and he sees Kairi there. Then the door opens and Kairi gets blasted towards Sora. When her body crashes into Sora's, you can see her disappearing. I think that's when her heart got separated from her body and went inside Sora.
