This is an old theory of mine that focuses on Roxas' Keyblades and how they might have played different roles throughout the story.
Thus far in KH'Days, we have only seen Roxas with one Keyblade and Xion with one Keyblade. When Roxas was captured though at Memory Skyscraper, he possessed both the Oathkeeper and the Oblivion.
Though Days has two nobodies each with their own Keyblade, by the beginning of KH2 there seems to be only one nobody with two Keyblades.
I do suspect that Xion's Keyblade later fell into Roxas' possession near the end of KH'Days. Xion and Roxas do seem to share a deep connection and I think it's possible that their existences are intertwined. Possibly, Xion's Keyblade could pass from herself to Roxas for whatever reason under whatever circumstances (and for those who believe that Xion got her Keyblade from Roxas, then Xion's Keyblade passing to Roxas could just be considered her returning that power)
Now, skipping ahead to KH2, Roxas possessed two Keyblades, which take form as the Oathkeeper and the Oblivion. The Oathkeeper is a symbol for Kairi and the Oblivion is a symbol for Riku. I think the one that might have previously been Xion's Kingdom Key is the one which take form as the Oathkeeper. Now when Roxas fought against Riku, there is that one part where Roxas tossed Riku the Oblivion. After the Heartless are cleared though, Roxas and Riku turn on each other and fight with the Keyblades. For whatever reason, the Oblivion does not return to Roxas, even though it is inconvenient for Roxas to allow Riku to use that Keyblade. Riku seems to be able to keep a hold on the Oblivion and this may just be for the reason that it's a symbol of Sora's of memories Riku.
Next, Roxas is captured by Riku and put in the virtual Twilight Town. Roxas gradually acquires Sora's memories, and regains the ability to wield a single Kingdom Key as Sora did. Then, the memory of Roxas' battle with Riku returns to him, and then he demonstrates his ability to summon two Keyblades against Axel, who responds in a surprised tone "Two!" potentially indicating this being the first time Axel witnessed Roxas dual wielding.
Later, Roxas merges with Sora, and much of the power Roxas held is transferred to Sora.
Next, there's the question of Riku's Keyblade, of where it came from and how he obtained it. The Soul Eater itself was said be part of a transformation that prodcued the Way to Dawn. Because of this, it appears Riku would have had to obtain his Keyblade sometime between his visit to the Land of Dragons and his combat with Saix at the Castle That Never Was.
Not long after Riku is first shown with his new Keyblade, he pulls out a second Keyblade and hands it to Kairi. Two Keyblades suddenly entering the story certainly raises a lot of questions such as 'where these Keyblades came from' and 'why are these Keyblades appearing in the story just now'.
Something interesting though, the first time Riku is shown with his Keyblade isn't until after the last time Roxas is shown with his Keyblades in his battle with Sora.
I think Roxas' battle with Sora might hold some importance. The recent demise of Roxas' friend, Axel, and the significance of Sora's location, influences the reappearance of Roxas at Memory Skyscraper and allows him to face Sora. Roxas and Sora battle each other at the Station of Awakening. It is there where Roxas is finally able to ask Sora the question that has continued to occupy his mind, "Tell me. Tell me why it choose you." In this scene, Roxas re-addresses the question of why he has the Keyblade and even why Sora has it as well. Not long into the fight, Roxas is floating above and as he looks down at Sora, the camera pans across the images of Riku and Kairi on the flooring beneath Sora. Then Roxas responds, "I see, that's why." But what did Roxas mean by this? It goes back to what Sora said in KH1, how he gets his power from his friends. Roxas might have come to the realization that Sora's heart is Keyblade qualified because of Sora's bond with his friends that make him strong.
After this fight, Roxas' Keyblades disappear and Roxas finally looks satisfied as he vanishes.
Now, theoretically, I think after that point, Roxas might assume the role of the Guardian. He might use his power to protect his friends, or rather Sora's friends. Lingering Sentiment seems establish the possibility that Terra chose who would wield the Kingdom Key. Perhaps Roxas could make such a choice as well, and choose Riku to receive his Keyblades. It certainly is a convenient situation, Roxas' Oathkeeper and Oblivion disappear and then Way to Dawn and *flowerpower appears.
The Soul Eater is said to have changed into the Way to Dawn, but maybe something more than just the Soul Eater was involved in that transformation. Perhaps Riku's acquisation of one of Roxas' Keyblades allowed the power and form from the Soul Eater to transfer into the Keyblade.
For those Kairi-haters, Riku might have just lent the power of one of Roxas' Keyblades to Kairi, and then later that power may have returned to Riku, who then would possess both of Roxas' Keyblades.
For those who believe KH-original female characters can potentially be more than useless, then perhaps Riku could have actually given Kairi one of Roxas' Keyblades to keep as her own. It might have been Roxas' intention for Kairi to receive a Keyblade. When Roxas learned that Sora got his power from his friends, then perhaps he wanted to give some power to those friends in return. One person might not need to have both of Roxas' Keyblades, especially if they were really divided between Roxas and Xion during KH'Days.
