It's Dangerous To Run Away!!
Chapter 3 - Settling In
A/N: I would like to thank everyone who reviewed.
LunaPrincess - Thank you for reading this like I asked!
Gideon's Dreamer - Thanks for reading liked I asked you too!
Vixen - Thank you so much for reading!
And I'll answer some questions also.
To zero and Gideon's Dreamer - This is going to be a Usagi/Hiiro fic. And I don't know if
I'll have the other girls in it or not.
To SerenityLNguyen - It's a Usagi/Hiiro fic. I don't plan on have the boys beat or hurt
Usagi. That's why I included Officer Williams asking Quatre not to hurt her and Quatre saying he'll
get the others to promise not to hurt as well. And I was not offended by your question.
And to any one who is wondering what Usagi's parents are doing to her.........you'll just
have to continue to read to find out.
Once again I would like to thank zero, silver star, Crazy-Gurl, ravenshadow18, Li-chan,
dagger, Potato, LunaPrincess, SerenityLNguyen, alexz, Gideon's Dreamer, rose-serenade, Gemini
Tenshi, tenshi-chan and Vixen for you reviews.

*"Usagi-chan, are you sure you got every thing you'll need?"
"Yes Luna. With all that money from Mom and Dad, I was able to buy enough food that
should last us until winters over. I got Two lanterns and lots of batteries that are solar
rechargeable. I also got a sleeping bag that's made for 10 degrees below and a tent, and ax, water
purifier, rope, a fishing pole with a tackle and whatever else you two put on the list of things for
me to get."
"Good. I just hope that your parents don't send anyone after us," said Luna as she looked
behind them, then looked at Artemis who was riding on the red wagon Usagi was pulling with all
the supplies in it. "Artemis, get off that! It's already heavy enough! You don't want Usagi-chan to
pull a muscle do you?"
Artemis stuck out his tongue at Luna and jumped off. "I don't want Usa-chan to pull a
muscle. If it was too heavy she would have told me to get off."
"Well Artemis-" Luna started but stopped when Usagi started to laugh. "Usagi what's so
funny?"
"You too sound like you're a married couple when you fight. Oh! And I want to know when
I can expect to see Chibi Lunas and Artemises running around?"
"We do not!!" They shouted togther. Usagi just laughed harder at their reaction.
"Usa-chan, are you sure you know where you're going?"
"Of course I do Artemis. Just because I haven't been here in over a year doesn't mean that I
have forgotten," Usagi said as the wind started to pick up. "You guys, I think we need to pick up
the pace. If I'm remembering correctly, this usually happens when a storm is coming. And I know
we don't want to be caught in the rain."
As if on cue the sky opened up and rain started to pour down upon them. As they broke into
a run, a cave came into view. "Guys, there's a cave up ahead." They started to slow down as they
entered the cave.
"Well that was fun," Luna's voice was dripping with sarcasm. "Usagi-chan, do you know
where we are?"
"Yup. This is right where we need to be. This cave is an entrance to a honeycomb of
caverns. But only one path leads to an underground hot spring. I found this the last time I was here.
Just follow me," Usagi said as she pulled out a lantern and turned it on.
As they made their way through the cave, Luna and Artemis noticed cave paintings on the
walls. "Hey Usa-chan, did you notice that there are cave paintings?"
"Hai, I even found some other stuff like earthen bowls and jars. I think Indians lived here
at one time," Usagi said, rubbing her chin. "I would have told my parents, but I couldn't stand the
thought of not being able to come here when I wanted to. And I would have gotten in big trouble if
they found out that when they left town, I would come out here."
It was pretty much quite after that. The only noise was their footsteps and the wheels of the
wagon. As they wound their way through the different paths, the sound of dripping water could be
heard echoing off the cave walls and the temperature rose. Turning one more bend, the path
widened and the ceiling got higher. Walking a little bit further into the cavern, steam could be seen
rising up from three different pools of water.
Usagi smiled at the memories of playing here when she was younger. She sighed and
started to unload every thing. When every thing was unpacked, set up, and organized, she looked
around and yawned. Looking at her watch which read 8:03 P.M., Usagi smiled and thought,
"Luna, Artemis, I'm going to turn in. Just turn off the lanterns before you come to bed." With
that Usagi crawled into her sleeping bag and turned away from the lantern's light.
Artemis got up and turned off one of the lanterns while Luna turned down the other.
Artemis walked over to where Luna was and whispered, "Do you think her parents have sent
anyone after us yet?"
"Probably. But they will have a hard time finding us. With the rain, our foot prints are
being washed away as we speak. And I don't think we left any clues as to where we would be. But
we'll just have to wait and see. Good night Artemis, see you in the morning." Luna walked over to
the sleeping Usagi and curled up next to her.
Artemis turned off the lantern and walked over to the others to join them in sleep while
thinking about what the next few months would bring.*
