Thanks for all of your reviews! They were very heart-warming!
Well, except for the ones that rushed me, saying hurry up with the story when it has only been out for one week! I could have waited for a year to update, if I was really that evil.
So, think about this. Would you like me to release a piece of crap the next day, or a work of art the next week?
Something to ponder, right?

"Thanks." He released her abruptly then ducked underwater. "Inuyasha?" She turned around to find him a feel feet away from her, underwater as a few bubbles reaching the surface and popping as they were attacked by the hot air. Just as she was about to roll her eyes, she saw something odd and bright red float to the surface.
Kagome squinted, then gasped in realization.
"Inuyasha's clothes," she blubbered, as her body began to fill with dread. "That means he is completely naked!"
~*~
Kagome felt like a fish out of water. Her heart was battering harshly against her ribcage, her throat was dry, and her legs felt like Jell-O. She swallowed.
Inuyasha?
Naked?
As in butt-naked?
Did he ever wear underwear?
Kagome shook that last thought from her head, now having an eternal battle with herself. One part longed to see Inuyasha's smooth muscled chest, cool water streaming down his face and hot body. The other part, the much more civilized part, protested furiously, stating that it was wrong to be a voyeur!
Bubbles began to pop steam at the surface of the water. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut; a trickle of sweat slid down her brow. Suddenly, the sky began to darken, the light clouds getting assaulted by the gray ones heavy with yearning rain. It was hard to see through the oncoming blackness, but she was able to make out the pure white head that popped out from under the water.
"Inuyasha?" He turned to face her, amber orbs flashing in the deepening shadows. "Are you skinny-dipping?"
"Skinny-dipping?" he asked innocently, cocking his head.
"Yes!" she hissed angrily through clenched teeth. "Skinny-dipping! Are you naked?" Inuyasha nodded.
"What's wrong with that? I do that every summer. The water was too hot."
"So that's why you were so embarrassed!?" she cried, remembering the time earlier when she had asked Inuyasha what he did to cool off. The hanyou shrugged and began doggy-paddling up to her, white head bobbing awkwardly over the water. Kagome blushed, taking a quaking step backwards(which was quite difficult in the water), hand fisting her shirt to try and calm her heart.
Okay here was the guy she had been crushing on for years. He was being civil. And was swimming up to her - stark naked!
"I-Inuyasha you perv! Get away from me!" was the first thing that came out.
"Perv? C'mon you should try it! You'll get much cooler," he offered.
"NO!" she shrieked, sure that every inch of her body was flaming red. Inuyasha wanted to skinny-dip…with her? Her breathing came out in ragged pants, her legs trembled under her weight, and her head pounded with pain. Here he was, about to show off his perfect body, and he was acting as if it were nothing! She clamped a moist hand to her forehead, trying to wage her temperature, but the sloshing of Inuyasha treading water snapped her back to reality. "Get away from me!" Kagome threw one hand out in front of her, while the other was firmly fastened over her eyes.
"What's wrong? I'm just playing around! Or is it because…I'm naked?" he joked.
Kagome froze, heart pounding in her ears, as a nearly inaudible gasp fell from her lips. She seized up with fear, blushing deeply to the roots of her hair. Inuyasha took her reaction negatively and felt the icy cold fingers of doubt squeeze in on his heart.
"Geez!" he snapped, massaging his bare chest where his heart still stung with pain. "I was only kidding you don't have to act so disgusted." That caused Kagome to gasp again. She lowered her hand from her face and her eyes met deep amber orbs mixed in with pain and anger. Her bottom lip quivered in an attempt to suppress her tears. I hurt his feelings! I was only embarrassed because of his nakedness! But I can't tell him that because he'll only laugh at me and run back into Kikyou's arms the next time he gets a chance.
Making a rash decision, Kagome lowered herself into the water and began wading up to him, arms and legs slapping against the smooth shell of the water. The clouds shifted again, wrapping a shadowy veil of darkness around her vision, but she still made her way determinedly over to him. Suddenly, her hand hit something smooth and wet, something that she recognized as Inuyasha's back. Her heart leapt into her throat, but she managed to swallow it down as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, burying her face into his hair, breathing in the sweet, earthy scent that was all his own.
"W-What are you doing?" he attempted to sound fierce, but his words just came out broken, like shards of glass, from his mouth.
"Comforting you," she murmured, squeezing him tighter. Thunder boomed again in the distance, and the wind picked up, swirling Inuyasha's hair in her face. It was so dark, she could only see the brilliant whiteness of his hair. Somehow, this gave her more confidence because she couldn't see his sharp, questioning eyes as she spoke to him.
"Why? After you said I was ugly?" he growled angrily.
"I never said that!" Kagome cried. A few tears wet her cheeks. "I never meant to hurt you." He ignored her, now solely focused on the smell of her tears.
"Don't cry over me. Your tears are wasted."
"No they're not! You have the same rights as everyone else! You know I care about you! Why don't you trust me?" Kagome worried her bottom lip with her teeth as she felt Inuyasha tense.
"I do trust you. But, the last time I let down my defense, I got shot." He guided her wet hand to his heart. Kagome blushed fiercely, grateful of the darkness.
"Inuyasha?" He pressed her hand more firmly against his chest, so that she could feel the quick beating of his heart.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Your heart is pounding." Inuyasha sighed.
"I trust you Kagome, I do it's just…" He mumbled something under his breath.
"What?"
"I said I feel bad because…" The intense thundering of his heart sped up a notch. "I feel bad because I know you'll never have feelings for me because of my dirty blood and that makes me feel empty inside." Kagome could have died and went to heaven. Her blood darted in her veins, her palms became sweaty, and she could already hear her heart beating three times its normal rate.
She worked her mouth several times before she was able to force words out.
"W-What are you saying, I-Inuyasha?" she questioned. Suddenly, Inuyasha jerked around, and pressed his lips against hers. I never was good with words, let's just hope this works.
Glad for the darkness yet again, he cradled the back of her head in his arms and pressed his lips firmer against hers. He heard her moan and that made him smirk. He ran his tongue against her bottom lip and she shuddered, arms snapping around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Inuyasha had to suppress a moan himself. Kagome's lip were soft and wet, and it was like kissing sweet rose petals. They were warm and inviting, and tasted like peaches. But he found himself wanting more. He licked her lips again, more insistently, making her gasp. He then took the chance to tilt her head and plunge his tongue in her mouth.
Inuyasha stroked her tongue passionately, crushing the girl more firmly against his bare, naked chest. After a while, he felt her tongue tap his shyly and he let out a groan, which vibrated against her lips, making her cry out. Inuyasha parted from her, gasping for breath. The sun managed to struggle through the clouds again, and the proud hanyou was able to stare Kagome's face. It was flushed pink, her lips were swollen, her eyelids were droopy, and her hair was messy and tussled.
"Kagome?" She shut him up with a quick kiss that only lasted a few seconds.
"Inuyasha." She smiled. "I love you."
"I love you, too," he replied instantly. Kagome beamed at him, eyes twinkling with happiness.
"Does this mean you promise you'll never leave me for Kikyou again?" Kagome asked. She had immense jealousy for the girl, but how could she hate her carnation? How could she hate someone who loved Inuyasha like her? Besides, anyone who cared for Inuyasha couldn't be all bad, right?
"Never," he responded, ripping her from her thoughts. He rubbed his face in her hair. "I never meant to cause you so much pain Kagome. Never. And I swear I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you." Inuyasha expected a thank you, but all he was greeted with was a flustered, blushing face. "What?"
"Inuyasha, you're still naked." The hanyou blushed as well. He was so caught up in Kagome's sweet-tasting lips and her moans of pleasure that he had completely forgotten about his state of undress. She turned her back as he swam through the water to retrieve his drenched clothes floating lazily on the surface of the water. He pulled them on, ignoring the chill when the touched his skin, and waded over to Kagome. Her face was tilted towards the sky. Inuyasha looked up, too, and got smacked in the face with a large raindrop.
"Hey! What the fuc-"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome hissed. The wind started to pick up again, chilling the poor girl to the bone. She rubbed her arms vigorously, trying to shake off the numbness while her teeth chattered. Geez! Weather really is unpredictable! First it was over 90 degrees and now it's freezing cold with rain!
"Whatever," he mumbled. She yelped as he picked her up bridal style, fastened one of his arms under the crook of her knees.
"W-What are you doing?" Kagome stammered, hiding her face in his shirt.
"Carrying you back to the hut."
"All the way back?" Inuyasha nodded.
"Of course."
* * *
Back at the hut, Miroku and Sango had returned. They were empty handed and very sweaty and flustered. Shippo was asleep, curled up at Kirara side, while Kaede used a wooden spoon to stir some stew. Inuyasha and Kagome suddenly burst through the door, dripping wet and chilled to the core. He lowered Kagome gently to the ground.
Miroku regarded her closely. She was practically bubbling with happiness and around her eyes there was a certain glow that seemed to erase the bags that had formed there while straining by candlelight to do homework. The gruff hanyou seemed different as well. He watched Kagome more attentively and there was also the teeny fact that she was grinning from ear to ear - a huge task, considering his ears were on top of his head.
"I knew it." Inuyasha's face heated up instantly.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I am going to be an uncle soon. Ooh think of it Sango! Once our quest it over, out dear son will have someone to play with! Though I still haven't gotten us to the most pleasurable point of our long-term relationship." WHACK. "Ow." He rubbed a throbbing, pink knob on his head whilst glaring at Kagome who was now staring off into space, attempting to look innocent.
"Nothing like that happened, monk, so keep your goddamn mouth shut!"
"Such violent language, Inuyasha. Why, one can only assume with you two coming out of the rain, soaked, flushed, and with Kagome's white shirt so see through…"
"ACK! PERVERT!" Miroku earned another wallop on the head for that one. It was Kagome again, who was glowering at him, with on hand raised, while her right arm was crushed against her breasts to save herself from any more embarrassment. The poor houshi hit the floor in record time. Inuyasha was now grinding his teeth together, a dangerous vein popping on his head.
"But what were you guys doing out there?" Sango inquired, looking thoughtful. "I mean…when we came back, Shippo was pouting and said that you two kicked him away so you could spend some quality time together."
"That little runt! We did nothing of the sort!" Inuyasha frowned venomously at the snoring kitsune while Kagome smacked her left hand to her face.
"Why does everyone get the wrong ideas?" she wailed, skin now beat red.
"It's just suspicious, that's all." Sango shrugged and went back to her tiring task of scratching her sleeping kitten's ears. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it yet. After all, when Miroku and I started….you know…" She blushed. "I didn't want to tell anybody, but he did, of course. Each couple takes a different amount of time."
"NOTHING HAPPENED!" Inuyasha roared suddenly, causing Kagome and Sango's hearts to jump into their throats. "FREAKING PERVERTS!"
"But I'm only stating the obvious," she protested, winking at the confused teen.
"What?"
"I mean, I may be from the Feudal Era, but I do know what a hickey is."
Inuyasha suddenly remembered that Kagome had been licking, sucking, and biting on his neck while he was walking home with her in the freezing rain, which delayed their progress. He now found Miroku's unconscious form very interesting.
Later on that night, with Inuyasha sleeping outside, and everyone else peacefully snoring away except Kagome, Sango turned in her sleeping furs to look at her friend.
"Inuyasha's gone now," she whispered, smirking. "So, what were you guys doing out there in the rain?" Kagome grinned, rolling her eyes, as she remembered Inuyasha's lips stroking hers while he was naked when they were in the springs.
"Nothing Sango," she said. "Just cooling off."
The End?
Okay, that's a wrap for Summer Heat. I am really REALLY REALLY impressed with the amount of reviews I received over the last few days. WOW! I never got so many reviews in one week. Monumental! (I love that word) I hope you enjoyed part two and I'm sorry for the delayed release. My first attempt at part two sucked, so I deleted it and had to rewrite it all again, but I couldn't post it until Sunday because my little sister had a birthday party on Saturday and I got to watch a magician perform in front of dozens of squealing kids. So I had no time whatsoever to edit and release this story to the public.
But enough about me. Please please please review, even though it's not really needed, I think this story has A LOT of reviews.
Be prepared to see more short stories like this from me in the future, I already have three planned out.
Stay sweet.
