Notes: Ah...yeah. Oddness. Kinda on the longish side. Also, while I was rereading I realized that some people may be offended by me putting these characters into situations that they could normally handle with no problem. I'm not trying to degrade any characters. Sorry if I insulted anyone. Thank you!
Disclaimer: Just realized I haven't been putting these up. Whoops. So this counts for all the drabbles: Me no own. Never shall. Not mine.

If you've ever tried to screw in a light bulb before, you probably know that sometimes it isn't as easy as it looks.
It was a Sunday evening when the light bulb in Kuwabara's room went out.
Shizuru was at the temple visiting Yukina. Which meant that the Great Kazuma Kuwabara, Warrior of Love, had to screw in a new one by himself.
He went and grabbed a small wooden ladder from the garage and brought it into his room. He unscrewed the previous light bulb, and then held up the new one. Bringing it up to the ceiling, he began to attach the light bulb…
And, well, it didn't go too well.
Score: Light bulb one, Kuwabara none.
Time to bring in the big guns!
-------------------------
The Great Kazuma Kuwabara, Warrior of Love, needed bigger guns.
--------------------------
Two hours later, the Kuwabara residence was quite full. Unable to correctly screw in the light bulb by himself, Kazuma had been forced to call upon his friend Yusuke Urameshi to aid him in screwing in the light bulb.
And boy did that work well. Light bulbs, Kuwabara had learned, apparently caused unwanted stress and tempers to rise. It would take a lot of work to cover up that hole in the wall…
Light bulb two, Kuwabara and Yusuke none.
However, both Yusuke and Kuwabara were sure that this time, with the help of Shizuru, Kurama, Keiko, Yukina, Botan, Genkai, and even Hiei, they would get that light bulb.
Half an hour later the group had finally answered the question of how many people it takes to screw in a light bulb. Nine.
Yes, they'd finally gotten it. After fifteen minutes of everyone sitting in a circle examining the instruction manual, and then fifteen minutes of actually putting in the light bulb, they'd done it. Kuwabara triumphantly turned on the light switch.
Nothing happened.
The Great Kazuma Kuwabara, the Warrior of Love, started to cry.
------------------------------
The group of nine watched as the hired help stepped down from the ladder. He looked back up at the light bulb and then back at the exhausted group of wannabe electricians.
Taking off his hat, he wiped the sweat off his brow and shrugged. "Your bulb's dead."
There was no way to describe the tears shed.
