Author's note: Special thanks to my beta, Jen, for the idea as well as the title! *glomps*

Some background info: This takes place in modern AU'verse, where Bankotsu, a former rock star, works in the record industry, while his life-partner of several years, Jakotsu, is an actor on a nighttime soap and spends most of time in Kyoto (Japan's Hollywood), commuting home on the bullet train for a long weekend in Tokyo where the couple's home is. Nekozawa is at the vet being spayed to prevent a litter of unwanted kittens.

"Look! I know how much you love Banryuu, but I was getting tired of him spraying all over the apartment, Ban honey!" Jakotsu said as he resisted the urge to throttle his life partner. "He needs to be neutered!"

"What?" Bankotsu looked at him like he had three heads.

"He's a cat; he'll never miss his balls, if that's what you're worried about."

Bankotsu sputtered wordlessly.

"So I've made an appointment for him to go in next Saturday at ten o'clock. And don't give me that look! This place stinks like a catbox that hasn't been cleaned in years! You may not smell it cuz you're here all the time, but let me tell you, it reeks of cat piss!"

"But… but…"

"Look! There he goes again! All over my suitcase too!" Jakotsu stood there waving his hands helplessly. He was so angry the words just didn't want to come out. "I can't take that on the train now!"

"I'm sorry, Sweetness…"

"It's alright, Ban honey…" Jakotsu sighed, and stepping forward, he wrapped his arms around his life partner, pulling him close. "I wanted a new one anyways… But this is worse than anything Kirara ever did when we catsat for Sango. New drapes and a comforter are one thing, but carpets and walls are another. We need to get the smell out before Nekozawa comes home from the vet, or she'll be peeing all over the place too."

"Well, you know what they say, Sweetness…"

"No, what?"

"The valuable pet… has defects…" Bankotsu finished lamely.

"Ban honey, you've got to be kidding me…"

"Nope…"

Jakotsu heaved a long suffering sigh. "Oh, just shut up and kiss me."

"Will do…" Bankotsu said as he leaned in for a kiss.
