Another PW fanfic! Although I guess it's an ME fanfic seeing as I'm using char's from there... Oh well! I'm gonna object to myself cuz this story is in contradiction to the last one. I said that I think Phoenix and Miles are AWESOME together (which they totally are) but this story is about Lang and Edgeworth together (cuz this is also another kickass combo!) I've actually not found any fics about these two yet so I'll set the trend and go first! Oh, the pressure! So I don't own the Ace Attorney series (one day I hope I will) and this story contains shounen-ai (but it's VERY light) so what is the point in reading this and flaming if you don't like it?
*WARNING* Contains spoilers for Ace Attorney Investigations!
Summary: Shi-Long Lang is forever giving quotes from his precious Lang Zi. One day, Kay comes up with a game in which she manages to get everyone to play...

Lang Zi Says...
Chapter One- The Start Of A Tournament!
-Date: Saturday, May-
-Time: 1.30 pm-
-Place: High Prosecutor's Office-
Miles Edgeworth was enjoying a wonderful cup of tea at the time. He was sat on the sofa he had in his office and had thought to himself, what a pleasant day. So peaceful... But sadly his day was about to be thrown into chaos, which seemed to be a regular occurrence lately. As he was about to take another sip of tea from his very expensive tea cup, the door to his office was flung open dramatically, causing the prosecutor to nearly spill the hot liquid all over his beloved cravat. Needless to say, this didn't put him in a good mood.
"Good morning Mr. Edgeworth!" exclaimed a cheery Kay as she skipped into the office.
"Yeah, mornin' pal!" came the familiar voice of a certain scruffy detective.
Miles just glared at them before icily replying, "It's the afternoon."
"Oh Gummy, you're so silly! I can't believe you thought it was the morning!" laughed Kay.
If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who claimed that it was the morning first. However, Edgeworth didn't even bother pressing the subject as it seemed pointless.
"May I inquire as to why you are in my office?"
"Sure thing Mr. Edgeworth, sir! You see pal, Kay came up with this really good game! We've already gathered quite a few players but we wanted you to join us."
Edgeworth stared blankly at the detective for a moment. "You're seriously telling me that you bothered to interrupt me in my office to come and ask me to play a game? I'll have you know that I am very busy, and this is not a play ground!"
"Oh calm down Mr. Edgeworth," Kay said, flopping down beside him on the sofa, "We don't mean to play the game here, and besides you're just drinking some fancy, floral smelling tea. It doesn't look like you're that busy."
"Regardless, I have absolutely no interest in playing you're game Kay."
"Mr. Edgewoooooooooorth!" Kay started moaning and pouted.
"Nngh... Fine! Just stop making such a fuss, I'll play you're stupid game okay?"
"Yay!" The budding thief bounced up off the sofa and grabbed the prosecutor by the arm, dragging him along. Gumshoe followed behind.
x~x~x~x~x
-Date: Saturday, May-
-Time: 2.00 pm-
-Place: Random Field-
After walking for (what seemed to Miles like) a very long time, Kay suddenly stopped with a huge grin on her face.
"Here we are!" she announced happily, motioning to a field they were standing right next to. With ease, the young Yatagarasu jumped the fence (a move she had been trying to perfect because, you know, she's a great thief and all that jazz). Gumshoe lumbered over the metal gate with much less elegance than the dark haired girl before him and Edgeworth just stared at the barrier in his way before gently pushing it open and walking through.
After realizing that it was open all along, Gumshoe gave a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his head, whereas Kay folded her arms and huffed.
"Mr. Edgeworth, you were supposed to climb over! Why are you always so boring?"
If I recall correctly, this "boring" man has caught the fake Yatagarasu, solved your father's murder and put the ring leader behind bars... But once again the prosecutor knew that objecting would be a waste of time.
After a bit more walking, figures started to come into view. There were quite a few actually.
"Kay, Detective Gumshoe... Just how many people have you forced into playing this game?"
"We've not "forced" anyone sir! They're all here because they wanted a bit of time to relax pal."
"Yeah... No forcing was involved at all... hee, hee, hee." The air around Kay momentarily dropped below freezing and Edgeworth knew that there was no way this many people would be here because they actually wanted to play Kay's game.
Once they had reached the group, all Miles could do was stare for a bit. There were so many people here:
Franziska von Karma
Shi-Long Lang
Maggey Byrde
Mike Meekins
Ema Skye
Lana Skye
Rhoda Teneiro
Lauren Paups
Colias Palaeno
While he was stunned at the turn-out, Miles couldn't help wondering how they'd managed to drag Franziska into this, how in hell did they get an embassedor over here and thank God they didn't invite a certain old woman or annoying friend.
Miles was greeted in various ways from this incredibly odd group (it's a game! Figure out who said what!):
"Ha! Looks like the ever foolish fool Miles Edgeworth has been dragged into playing this foolishly foolish game with these other foolish fools!"
Ummmm... Reality check Franziska, you're here too! Of course the prosecutor would never dream of saying such a thing out loud for fear of getting whipped to death.
"Well if it isn't Mr. Prosecutor. Welcome to the party pretty boy!"
I swear if he calls me pretty boy one more time...
"It's great to see you again Mr. Edgeworth. I'm not sure what type of game this is, but I plan to win using the power of science!"
"O-oh... Calm down Lauren! N-no, your heart doesn't belong to him... Oh no!"
"It's great that you're back Edgeworth, it's been quite a while hasn't it? My sister dragged me here by the way, I wouldn't usually have time for such trifles as these."
*OTT salute* "Sir! It's good to see you again sir!"
"Mr Edgeworth! How have you been? You've been using that suitcase I gave you right?"
"U-um... I'm a bailiff now sir... Good to see you again... THIS LITTLE MAN WILL DO HIS BEST TO WIN!
"Ah, Mr. Edgewoth. It is so good to see you. Please, on behalf of Cohdophia accept these coupons!"
x~x~x~x~x
"Ok, now that everyone has said hi it's time for me to reveal my awesome game!" Kay jumped into the middle of the group, commanding their attention. "If I'm completely honest, my game was inspired by something Wolfy commonly says." She beamed at Lang before continuing, "It's a completely original game called... Lang Zi Says! The rules of the game are simple. Everyone takes turns to say what Lang Zi says, and the person they are aiming for has to perform it. No matter what!" She tacked onto the end. "Failure to comply with Lang Zi's request results in immediate disqualification. Eventually only one will be left standing and they will become the champion! Any questions?"
Kay got a load of blank stares as a reply. Franziska ended up being the one to break the silence.
"Of all the foolishly foolish... This is just Simon Says! All you have done is substituted Simon with Lang Zi!"
Kay refused to let von Karma faze her. "That's where you're wrong! Lang Zi is always saying something and so you can't be caught out like in Simon Says. Plus Lang Zi can say anything. He could make you reveal you're deepest secrets or make you do something hilarious!"
More blank stares, this time with an interruption from Ema.
"Well then... That would make this a variation on the game Truth or Dare wouldn't it? Scientifically speaking that is."
Upon hearing this, Kay puffed out her cheeks and pouted. "Hey! Can everyone just stop complaining? I come up with a fun game and all you do is poke holes through it! Can we just play it please?"
Seeing as they were already there, everyone decided that they might as well go ahead and participate.
And so began the epic game known as Lang Zi says...
x~x~x~x~x
Yup, finished chapter one. I think I'm only gonna add one more chapter to this fic. Told ya the shounen-ai was light, there wasn't any in this chapter! XP But there will be some in the next chapter when we find out once and for all who the Lang Zi Says champion will be! I guess I should say the inspiration for me liking this couple is cuz Lang is forever calling Edgeworth Pretty Boy and I know there's a hidden meaning behind that somewhere!
If anyone has any suggestions for the Lang Zi dares/truths they want a character to have, please tell me and I'll try work it into the story. Anyways, please review! The more reviews I get, the faster I'll start writing the next chapter and then the sooner you'll see some LangxEdgey action! ^_^
Thank you for reading this!
