Do you guys honestly think all Kairi will do in KH2 is mope around Destiny Islands? If she was going to be doing that, they wouldn't show any footage of her at all, it'd just be depressing.
No...I've come to have great respect for Kairi. I even am deep in writing a fanfiction about her, inspired by the quote in Deep Dive "This time, I'll fight."
Kairi said herself in KH1 that she wanted to come help, but if you remember, Sora wouldn't let her. He told her she'd be in the way (at least until she learned to fight). And I don't know about you, but if I randomly woke up in some Heartless-infested castle, saw one of my best friends dissolve into nothing, and then see Ansem come at me, I would have passed out. Not Kairi. Not only did she stand her ground, but Donald and Goofy practically had to verbally drag her out of the castle because she wanted to stay and find Sora and Riku.
Damsel in distress? In distress, yes, but certainly no damsel. I'm guessing by the quotes "This time, I'll fight," and "What took you so long, Kairi?"...we're going to see her become very involved in the KH2 plot. I mean, the DD quotes are already appearing in the game: Cloud and Leon get the quote "Can we do it, against that?"
