In a way, Sora's current form IS his heartless. If you recall in KH1, Sora sacrificed himself, reviving Kairi, then became a shadow. After navigating through Hollow Bastion in this form, Kairi is able to revert him back into human shape, but he still has relapses every once in a while, as evidenced in KH2 when a Drive would fail.



The more he would use his Drive forms, the higher the probability would be that the next time he attempted a Drive, he would fail and turn into Shadow Sora until his Drive meter was empty.



The exception to this is the Final Drive form, which would reset the counter back to 0. This implies that there is an ever-teetering balance between the Nobody (Roxas) and the Heartless (Sora) inside of him. Sora repeatedly realizes that he needs Kairi and Riku to help him keep this balance in check.



The crappy reprise of FF7: Advent Children in KH2 in which Cloud defeats the "Sephiroth inside him" (if you choose to fight Sephiroth yourself) serves as a reminder to Sora that he, too, must learn to fight the darkness inside him. This is one of the reasons that he's so set on finding Riku, the person who taught him how to fight, throughout the game. His hope is that Riku can help him find the strength to keep this darkness at bay.

(Sephiroth: "He'll never let go of the darkness."

Tifa: "He doesn't have to. He just needs someone to surround him with light. The darkness will be there, Sephiroth. But in a place you can't reach!")



Towards the end of the game, when Riku and Sora are sitting on the beach in the World of Darkness, Riku nearly convinces him to give in and surrender to the darkness. ("If this world is made up of light and darkness... we'll be the darkness.") At that moment, an unknown power (presumably Kingdom Hearts itself) pulls Sora and Riku out of the WoD, and reunites them with Kairi in the World of Light; Destiny Islands.



The stories of KH1 and 2 have two very different themes; but they follow Sora's age and maturity level.

KH1: Shadows wouldn't be able to exist at all if it weren't for light; therefore, no matter how powerful the shadows get, if you keep searching for the light, they don't stand a chance.

KH2: Light and darkness are just two opposing powers, not necessarily good and evil. As long as you're strong enough to keep the light inside, the shadows can be a powerful ally.



Anyway, to conclude and answer your question, Sora doesn't have a heartless, he IS a heartless. He just managed to get his heart back. Upon rejoining with Roxas near the end of KH2, Sora became complete again, and, thanks to the keyblade, has control over his heartless and nobody.



tl;dnr - Sora is a heartless.
