So, my friend Deep-chan sent a challenge out to me.  I accepted it.  Hopefully I did well! :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PPOV  (Prussia's POV)

Gilbert sets his beer down, wiping his lips with the back of his hand.  Fingering with his blade in the sheath, he glances around the bar with narrowed eyes.  A bag of gold held by a string, hangs from his hip, every now and then, the light catches some coins that have pushed their ways to the top of the bag.

Sure, he had made a big profit from his last job, but he itched to feel the rush of hunting the criminal.  Maybe that is how the dogs felt when they were hunting a fox.  No matter the reason, Gilbert needs to find a new assignment, or he's going to go crazy with boredom!

Hopefully zis one will be more exciting then ze last one,  Gilbert sighs to himself, flicking a couple of gold coins from the bag, the coins clattering on the table.  Gilbert shoves his hands into his pockets, shoulders hunched, not really knowing where to head to now.  He heads outside of the bar, leaving the loud laughter of drunk men, his hat hanging low to cover his crimson eyes to other people.

"Hey, did you hear about that criminal?"  A hushed voice reaches Gilbert's ear, making him stand straighter, and pause.  Two women talk in hushed voices, walking right by Gilbert.

"You mean the one that escaped from jail?  I heard she's the first one to breakout,"  The second woman whispers, her eyes wide.

"I heard that there's a huge bounty on her head; big enough to make a poor man rich."  The women walk past Gilbert, their voices getting farther and farther for him to hear anything they say.

Big reward, huh?  Sounds perfect for ze awesome me,  Gilbert smirks to himself.  Though, I need more information.  Maybe they have a wanted poster of her up on the Outlaw Board?

Gilbert hurries towards the police station, a smirk plastered on his lips.  As soon as he opens the door, the sounds of loud voices fly out to outside.  Mein Gott, a lot of people must want this girl, whoever she is.  Gilbert thinks to himself, sighing.  Seems like ze awesome me has some competition...

"Gilbert, there you are my friend!"  A hand claps on Gilbert's back, almost knocking him down.

"Mein Gott, Benji, just shut up,"  Gilbert grumbles, rubbing his shoulder and wincing.

Benji laughs good naturedly.  "Oh relax Gil."  He then nods towards the notice board.  "You might want to hurry up; hundreds of men are going after her."

"Why are zere so many hunting her?"  Gilbert asks, leaning against the wall.

"She's eluded the police for quite some time; finally after years of chasing after her, someone finally caught her.  But now, she's escaped from the inescapable prison.  The police put a high bounty on her,"  Benji says, sighing slightly.

"Where is she supposed to be headed to?"

"Calm down Gil, you need to think about this rationally,"  Benji says, suddenly turning serious.

"Ze awesome me does not wait,"  Gilbert says, waving his hand airily.  "It'll be easier if you just tell me."

Benji grunts, rolling his eyes.  "Fine.  She's supposed to be in Jason's Woods,"  He says, jabbing his thumb in the direction to the woods.  Before Benji can say anything else, Gilbert rushes past him, towards the door.  Benji chuckles to himself, shaking his head.  "Maybe this will hold his attention,"  He muses to himself, rubbing his chin.



~Time Skip~

"If he was lying to ze awesome me, I'll kill him,"  Gilbert mutters to himself, picking his hat up, ruffling his white hair, and setting the hat back down on his head.  He stuffs his hands into his pockets, fingering with his blade on his belt.

The sun sets down over the trees, making the sky orange and light pink.  "Where are you Mädchen...?"  He mutters under his breath, his crimson eyes scanning the wooded area.  A rustle in the bushes makes him tense and turn around, his hand brushing against the hilt of his blade.

A girl appears from the bushes, wearing a simple white dress, her (e/c) wide in surprise as she sees Gilbert.  Her (h/c) hair is tied up in a bun, strands of hair coming out.  Her wrists are bright red, looking like she had jus gotten her shackles off of her.  The girl eyes Gilbert wearily, looking like she'll bolt if he comes near her.  "Who're you?"  She finally asks, taking a small step back.  "You're with the police, aren't you?"

"Ja...and no,"  Gilbert replies, tilting his hat down to hide his eyes.  "I don't specifically work for them."

"But you do take their jobs, don't you?"  She says, shifting from foot to foot.

The subject is tender for Gilbert, so he changes the subject by clearing his throat, and asking, "Why aren't you running away from ze awesome me?  I'm going to kill you."

"If you were going to kill me, you wouldn't have let me start talking,"  She says, shrugging.  "Unless, you're a newbie to this whole thing,"  The girl adds, cocking her head like a bird.

"You must've not heard of me, I am ze awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt,"  Gilbert proudly says, smirking at her.

She cocks an eyebrow up, almost scoffing at him.  "I could honnestly care less who you are; either way, you're never going to catch me,"  The girl says, shaking her head and chuckling.

"Oh, you zink so?"  Gilbert asks, narrowing his unseen crimson eyes.  Normally his targets would quake in fear, when they heard his name.

"I don't think, I know."  Nodding her head to him, she backs up into the bush, a smile playing on her lips.  She winks at him, before saying,  "And this is goodbye Mister Beilschmidt."  Then the woods is silent, except for her last words trickling in the wind, "No one can catch me, though try if you must~"



One Year Later

"Mr. Beilschmidt, how do you feel about not being able to find the Phantom?"  A reporter asks, his eyes wide with curiosity.  Phantom...fitting name for a girl like her,  Gilbert chuckles to himself, before responding to the new reporter.

"It's been a year since I last saw her, zough that doesn't mean ze awesome me will give up chasing her,"  He responds, crossing his hands over his chest.

The reporter nods, quickly scribbling notes down.  He glances up, his pencil against the pad of paper, "Do you feel lucky being the only person able to get a glimpse of her?"

Gilbert doesn't answer, his eyes narrowed as he thinks.  Finally, he nods, smiling ever so slightly.  "Yes, and no,"  Gilbert finally answers.

The reporter looks baffled, his eyes widened in surprise.  "Yes, and no?  How is that possible?"

"I do feel fortunate for finding her, though,"  The albino sighs, breaking his sentence, then he finishes, "even if that happened, I haven't had any luck to find her."

The newbie quickly writes it down, his eyes glued to the paper, like it's worth hundreds of dollars.  "Any last words?"

Gilbert shoves his hands into his pockets, smiling slightly.  "Ze awesome me will be the one to finally catch the Phantom, you bet your ass I will."

The reporter grins at Gilbert, and says, "And I'll be the first one to learn about it."

Gilbert smiles gently at him and nods.  "You better be.  Good luck kid," He says, tipping his hat sightly.

The little kid gives one last hopeful grin to Gilbert, before rushing off, towards the printing press.  Gilbert's smile fades, and h glances towards the forest.  Get ready Phantom...I'm not giving up just because you're a sly little thing...
