Disclaimer: I own Shaylin and Naoko, no one else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The past two weeks had been filled with arguing, fightng, yelling, or whatever else you would like to call it. Shaylin and Miroku seemed to hate each other. And they were in yet another arguement.

"I can't believe you, you're an idiot! You left him in a nasty diaper the whole time I was gone!" Shaylin was screaming.

"Well I don't know how to change a diaper." Miroku said, trying to stay calm, but it was obvious he was angry, because his right hand alone was about to break his staff in half, and the Tetsuiaga couldn't even break his staff.

"You do too! I've shown you how everyday since I joined the group, not to mention Kagome and Sango have as well!" Shaylin and the two girl had become friends, despite that Shaylin knew Miroku loved the huntress and visa-versa. Shaylin really didn't care, because she didn't love Miroku yet.

"I do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Too"

"Not"

"Too"

"Not"

"T.."

"SHUT UP!" Inuyasha yelled, jumping from a tree near by. "Does it matter if he left the runt in a dirty diaper? The damage has been done, he knows he messed up and he will learn how to change a diaper eventually. Please, just shut the hell up." he said growling.

"My son is not a runt dog breath. And Miroku is Naoko's father, he shouldn't leave him in a dirty diaper."

"You shouldn't have left him with me then." Miroku said stubornly.

"Then you should grow claws and sensitive hearing and smelling so you can catch our supper with Inuyasha."

"Kagome and Sango were here." Miroku said, starting to run out of deffenses.

"It's not our job Houshi-sama..." Sango said, her arms crossed over her chest. Miroku's face could have made Naraku feel sorry for him then. He felt rejected by everyone there. He sighed and just walked away.

"Now where is he going?" Shaylin asked, getting ready to follow him.

Inuyasha stopped her with an outstretched arm, "Leave him alone cat, he needs to think about this for a while."

Shaylin huffed and walked over to Shippou who was keeping Naoko happy as his parents had faught.

=================

A few hours later Miroku returned. His eyes were still red from crying. He walked right over to the campsite, his bangs hiding his eyes for he didn't want anyone to know he had been crying.

"I just wanted to apologize, Naoko is my responisbility as well as he is Shaylin's, he is no one else's but ours. I'm sorry for not doing my part."

A chorus of 'it's ok' and 'no problem' went up from the group. Naoko started to whimper is his mother's arms, she was about to get up the monk stopped her, "No, Shay, I've got it."

"He's hungry Miroku, you can't help him there."

"Oh.."

"But, he will have to be burped and his diaper will need to be changed not to soon after he's fed." she added.

"I can do that.."

"Yes, you can." Shaylin said walking off out of sight to feed the boy.

As she was gone Kagome smiled, "Good job Miroku. What made you say that though?"

He stole a glance at Sango before replying, "Um, just realizing that I can't be immature about things if I want to be a father. I need to take the responsibility on my own shoulders."

"You're really growing up fast monk." Inuyasha said from his position leaning against the trunk of a nearby tree.

"Well, I have to, I have to be a good father for my son."

"You have to try, no one is a good father, some are better than others, but no one is good enough to be perfect for their children." Sango said trying to take some of the guilt away from Miroku.

Miroku nodded, "I have to try.."

Shaylin walked back into the group, handing the crying baby to his father, "He needs to be burped, hold him, stomach down on your lap and pat his back, listen carefully, his burps are soft sometimes."

Naoko burped, but promptly started to cry.

"You broke him!" Shippou declared as Miroku tried to comfort the baby.

"whew..I think it's time to change him.." Inuyasha said, an evil gleam to his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I know what to do.." Miroku said, arrogantly. Just a few moments later he was gagging and throwing up behind a tree, Shaylin finishing the diaper changing.

Inuyasha laughed, "He got you in the mouth didn't he?"

"Yea.." The monk said walking out from behind the tree, wiping his mouth and tongue on his sleeve.

"Got him in the mouth?" Shippou asked innocently.

"Um, when you change the diaper of a little boy, sometimes, they pee as soon as you take the diaper off, and Miroku wasn't expecting that, so he didn't dodge, well, Naoko's pee got in his mouth." Kagome explained.

Shippou burst out laughing, and the others couldn't hold it in any more. Miroku just grumbled as he started to set out his blanket for the night.

"Oh, Miroku, tomorrow you have to wash the dirty diapers..." Shaylin said grinning.

"Why me?"

"Because I've had to do it his whole life, it's your turn..daddy.." she said giggling. Miroku groaned.

"Don't worry, a couple days and we'll be at Kaede's and then she'll have to worry about dirty diapers and feeding time."

"Oh yea, how is she gonna feed him?" Miroku asked Shaylin.

"He eats mushed up solid foods. Just every now and then I don't feel like mushing up the food I eat and so I breast feed, I can't do that much longer anyway so it's ok."

"Oh.."

"Go to sleep Mirkou.." Inuyasha said from his tree perch. "And stop grumbling"
