Hello everyone! Anyone here know me? No? Well that's because This is my first Phoenix Wright fan fic (I'm more known for doing Fullmetal alchemist fanfics) I have only ever played the first game but I've seen various clips and I've read the scripts for the second game so I have a pretty good idea of what's going on in JFA.

This IS and EdgeworthxPhoenix Yaoi fic, because it's obvious that these two are gay for each other and that there's not enough fan fic's about them! So without further ado! Enjoy!

Unfamiliar Turnabout

Chapter1- Casefile

--------------------

Phoenix Wright, Ace attorney sighed and leaned back in his worn leather armchair one hand rubbing the bridge of his nose tiredly as he tried to finish reading the file, which was currently scattered across his usual neat desk; it was almost one o'clock in the morning and he still hadn't revised everything he needed before tomorrow's meeting with his client.

Maya, his assistant was currently sat, fast asleep her arms supporting her head that was resting on the table resting in the table, a steel samurai themed blanket draped over her shoulders as she sat next to the TV which was currently showing a steel Samurai marathon, obviously though Maya had fallen asleep before the end of her beloved show, and Phoenix couldn't help but smile fondly at his assistant; after all that had happened with the Matt Engarde/Shelly De Killer case (1) she hadn't changed a bit.

Shaking his head he picked up the first page of the case file; Gumshoe had dropped by unexpectedly a few hours ago and dropped it off, saying that he believed the accused in the case was innocent due to some evidence he'd found and not only that the girl in question had requested through Gumshoe to defend her. Unexpected as it was Phoenix was relived, he hadn't had many tough cases in a while and this one seemed like a challenge, he had two days before the case went to court so he was planning on meeting the accused tomorrow morning and spending the rest of the day gathering up evidence. With a sigh he stared at the first piece of paper from the case file and tried to concentrate on what it said:

Case No: 371008

Case: State Vs Jade Rotaski

Charge: Murder

Accused: Jade Lee Rotaski (21)

Victim: Claire Dannon (20)

Cause of death: Strangulation

The victim was strangled with what could be a rope or a scarf, the body was found out in the back alleyway of Fresh!, a nightclub popular with local university students , there were signs of struggle as skin was found underneath the victims nails and her cloths were torn in some places. Mugging has been ruled out due to phone, and valuables still being with victim. According to the coroner, the victim died at around 3.30-4am and Sunday 20th July 20XX, the body wasn't found until 7am on the same morning by the caretaker/cellar man of Fresh! Bob Fexut…

It was at this point that Phoenix's eyes began drooping heavily and before he could fight the weariness off, he felt his head drop on the desk before all went dark and he fell fast asleep.

----------------------

"Nick! NICK WAKE UP! Were going to be late!" as persistent, loud but familiar voice called out, the dark haired ace attorney just groaned and vaguely felt himself wave a hand out as if to swat away the voice before giving up and tried to get beck to sleep…or he would if someone hadn't started poking him in the ribs.

The dark haired lawyer groaned and cracked open an eye; Maya was standing over him a frustrated frown on her face, in one hand she was holding a chopstick, which was what she was poking him with. With a groan Phoenix sat up and rubbed the back of his neck wincing; he's been sleeping at his desk again and his neck was aching because of the unnatural position he'd been sleeping in, he looked over at Maya and sighed; she was already dressed and ready in her usual spirit medium outfit and seemed happy and chirpy this morning.

"Ah so your finally awake sleepy head" Maya said ruffling his already tangled and unkempt hair playfully "Come on you need to get changed your supposed to be meeting this new client of yours today!" Phoenix blinked at her blankly for a moment as his still sleepy mind tried to remember what she was on about.

"Ah the case!" He yelped as he finally caught on to what his faithful assistant was jabbering on about "What time is it?" He asked her hurriedly as he shot up from his seat and raced to the bedroom to get changed into a clean shirt then rushing into the bathroom to get washed, shaved and changed.

Once he was clean and dressed and his hair was combed back into its normal spiky style Phoenix gathered up his notes on the case file cursing to himself "I didn't even finish reading the notes i was so tired, ah i guess it can't be helped" Phoenix said with a sigh as he putt all the notes back into the manilla folder and shoved it into his suitcase.

Maya giggled as her friend and patted him enthusiastically on the back "Aww come on Nick you'll be just fine" she said encouragingly to which the dark haired attorney flashed her a grateful smile and a nod in return as thy both left the office/apartment and headed to the detention centre to meet their newest client...
