It's Dangerous To Run Away!!

Chapter 5 - The Hunt Begins

A/N: Okay, I don't know if anyone is confused out there about what's happening when. But
here's it is. Usagi ran away early in the morning and got to the cave the same day. The next day
around noon the boys found the wanted poster for Usagi. Went to her parent's mansion got the clues
and then went home. Sorry if that wasn't clear and if it was sorry for wasting your time.

*The boys arrived at the two story house they owned. With all money from the different
jobs they took they where able to buy a house. It was located on the outskirts of town. It had six
bedrooms one of which is used as an ammunitions room, a kitchen, a dinning, three bathrooms, and
a big living room.

After getting out of the car and walk into the house the boy go to the kitchen to get some food.
Looking through the fridge Duo pulled out different stuff you put on sandwiches. The others waited
until Duo was out of the kitchen with his ten sub sandwiches before going in to get their food.
Getting their food they joined Duo at the table.

They ate silently until Hiiro said "I think that we should start looking first thing tomorrow
morning."

Duo was about to say something but Wufei took out his katana and held it right in front of Duo
face "Maxwell if you speak with your mouthful like you did the night before then I'm going to cut
that braid of your's off!! And use it to hang you!!"

Duo gulped down the food in his mouth and grin "I would never do something as impolite as
that. Heehee." Wufei sat down and started to eat again and mumbled about injustice as Duo
continued with what he was saying "I agree with He-man, the sooner we start the sooner we get
paid. And who knows maybe I can get this chick we're after to go out with me."

"Duo did you know that you have a one track mind?" Trowa asked.

"Why would you say that Trowa?"

"*Sigh*...never mind."

"Hey Quatre what where you talking about in Usagi's room. You know about the breath of
alcohol or something?"

"I was just wondering if anyone else noticed the smell of alcohol on Mr. Tsukino's breath."

"Sorry I didn't notice any thing like that." Duo said shrugging his shoulders.

"Neither did I." Trowa said.

"Same here." Wufei replied.

"I didn't smell alcohol but I did smell faint traces of marijuana when we walked in." Hiiro said.

"I think that has to do with why she ran away. I don't really trust them. I know there's more
going on." Quatre said leaning back in his chair thinking about today's events.

"I don't think that we should get involved in what's going on in these people's lives. We were
hired to just get the girl and bring her back." Trowa said with his arms folded across his chest.

"I'm with Barton. What goes on in that weak onna's family is none of our business."

"Guys what if she's being abused. I would run away if I was." Quatre said leaning forward onto
the table.

"Quatre does have a point. Hiiro what do you say?"

"I say we still continue with our job. If we find out that she's being abused then we won't turn
her in. But I have a feeling that she's not being abused." Hiiro said thinking about what he over
head at the mansion. "I'm going to bed. I suggest that you do the same because I'm getting you all up
at five. To get all the supplies packed and start our search." Hiiro said walking up the stairs and to
his room.

"I'm heading to bed too. It's already nine. 'Night guys." Duo walked up stairs.

"See you guys tomorrow morning." Quatre went upstairs also.

Soon everyone was up stair in bed for the night.

~~~~Next Morning~~~~

Three gun shots rang in through the house. Four boys shout up form their sleep. After realizing
that it was only Hiiro......again. He did this every time he needed to get everyone up. (A/N: A little
trigger happy aien't he?) Slowly each of the boys got dressed and went down stairs. Hiiro was
already eating his breakfast while looking at the paper.

"He-man you've got to find a different way to wake us up in the morning." Duo said while sitting
down at the table and reading his head on his arms.

Quatre walked into the kitchen and started to make pancakes. Trowa got each of the a plate and
silver ware for everyone except Hiiro and sat down putting them where they belong. Wufei got the
syrup and butter and set the items on the table.

Quatre finished the pancakes, stacked them on to a plate, and set them on the table. Duo
immediately took fifteen put on syrup and butter and started to devour the them and took more. The
others just took a few and ate their's as well.

When everyone was finished they started to get supplies for the hunt. This included caned food,
sleeping bags, hand cuffs, rope, clothes and what ever else they thought they would need on this
job. (A/N: mission. Heehee.) After loading all the stuff into Hiiro's bronco and got in.

As Hiiro drove to the Old Hiking and Hunting Shop at the base of Mount Baldy and Big Wolf
Mountain. They started to discuss what they were going to do.

"I think that she would have gone to Big Wolf because that has vegetation and Mount. Baldy
doesn't." Quatre said.

"I have to agree with him. Mount. Baldy is called that because it's is bald." Duo said while
holding on to his braid like it was the most important thing to him. (A/N: He doesn't like the word
bald. Heehee.)

"Take a look at that map we found in her room. I think I saw some writing on it." Hiiro said

Wufei turned around in his seat, dug around in all the stuff they brought and pulled out the map.
"Your right. Its on here but faint I think it was erased."

"Can you tell what it says?" Duo asked looking over Wufei's shoulder, only to be pushed back.

"Don't read over my shoulder you braided baka! And no I can't read it. It's Japanese."

"Give it to me. I'll read it." Hiiro said reaching back to get the map.

"NO!!!" All the boys shouted.

Duo took the map and throw it into the very back of the car and said "Hiiro your driving is
dangerous enough but, reading and driving don't even make me go there."

Hiiro just put his hand back on the steering wheel. The rest of the drive was quiet except when
Hiiro's passengers would gasp at sharp turns or when he ran stop signs and red lights. When they
got to the Shop they got out and went in. Hiiro walked out to the man behind the counter and asked
"Have you seen this girl?" While showing him a picture of Usagi.

"Yeah. She came in here and bought a bunch of stuff and hulled it up the trail leading to Big
Wolf Mountain in a red wagon."

"Hn." Hiiro nodded and started to walk away.

"Hey buddy why do you what to know?"

"We're looking for her. Thank you for your help." Quatre said.

"Well good lucky." The man said.

^We didn't see any wagon tracks and the bus driver didn't say any thing about a wagon.^ Quatre
thought then asked "Do you know where she go the wagon?"

"She bought one here. There right over there." He said pointing to the corner of the shop.

Quatre looked over his shoulder and nodded "Thank you."

They left the shop and started to unpack their stuff. Each boy had a big backpack on as they
started their trip up the mountain.

~~~~~~Where Usagi is~~~~~~

Usagi was going through the forest checking the traps, she had sat up the day before, to see if
she had caught any else. She already had two rabbits. As she neared the trail that lead further up
the mountain she head voices.*
