*As Usagi gets closer to the trail she can make out what they were saying.
"Duo, where did you put that map?" The boy with unruly brown hair said. Usagi felt
something tugging at her heart. Even though she couldn't see his face, she felt something for him but
didn't know what.
The one with a braid said, "It's in my pack, Hiiro."
^So his name's Hiiro.^ She thought, and watch as Hiiro started searching through Duo's pack and pulled out a map.
Usagi thought, ^They must just be hikers. I glad they're no threat,^ and was about to go on
her way when she saw that the map Hiiro took out was the same map that she had left in her room.
She knew it was the same one because it had the tea stain along one edge from the time Artemis knocked over her tea cup. Usagi bit her lip to keep from gasping, ^How could they have gotten that!! They must be after me. I better go tell Luna and Artemis.^ Usagi turned away from the boys and started her return home when she stepped on a twig. Mentally groaning, she looked back at the boys.
~~
Hiiro was looking at the map trying to make out what was written, when a twig snapping was heard. He hesitated looking out of the corner of his eye in the direction of the noise. Then continued walking, hoping that whatever it was didn't see him hesitate.
Usagi saw him falter and made a break for it, knowing that he had heard her. She was running back to the cave like there was no tomorrow, because she knew that if she was caught there wouldn't be one.
Hiiro heard something take off running. Not knowing what it was he when over to the bushes
where he heard the noise. Looking at the ground he saw foot prints. Hiiro looked up and saw that
they were going off into the forest. Hiiro realized that it must have been Usagi and quickly shouted, "Guys!! Usagi knows we're here! Come on! Her foot prints are leading this way," as he started to
run, following the foot prints. The others chased after Hiiro.
Usagi ran fast. She knew they were following, so she couldn't chance slowing down or
stopping. She ran to an area where that ground was rocky so she wouldn't make new foot prints for them to travel along. Usagi jumped on a big rock and continued her way back to the cave by way of hopping on rocks and swinging on low tree branches.
Hiiro knew that they wouldn't be able to catch up to their prey until she stopped. Reason being the stupid packs they had to have with them. He hoped the trail wouldn't stop or them loose it."Damn." They had reached a rocky area and there went the foot prints. *CRASH* Hiiro was now face down on the ground with Duo on top of him. Hiiro grunted, "Get the hell off of me, Duo."
"Heehee. Sorry He-man you just stopped so suddenly I didn't have time to stop." Duo
grinned as he got up and offered Hiiro his hand. Hiiro took Duo's hand but instead of letting Duo
help his he pulled Duo down and got up. Duo mumbled, "I said I was sorry. Sheesh," and got up
again.
"I take it you lost the trail?" Quatre asked after he had caught his breath.
"Yeah. This area doesn't have the soil needed to leave imprints," Hiiro stated as he started to
walk off "Let's look around and find a spot to make camp."
"I can't believe that an onna out ran us!"
"Wu-man, chill. We couldn't catch her because of our packs. Next time will be different."
The spot they chose was a small clearing near Wolf Lake. They started to set up a camp because this is would be the best spot to get water to drink and fish to eat. And maybe catch Usagi if she came for the same thing.
"Let's go over what we already know," Quatre said as he started to set up a tent. The boys
then reviewed all the leads and the event that had just taken place.
~~~~~~The Cave~~~~~~
Luna and Artemis looked up as Usagi came skidding in gasping for breath. "Usagi-chan, are
you okay?" Luna worriedly asked as she walked over.
Usagi held up one finger as a way of asking for a moment needed to catch her breath. "There after me! There here to bring me back!"
"Who's after you, Usa-chan?"
"Went I was out checking the traps I set yesterday, I heard some voices. So I walked over to
the trail 'cause that's where the voices were coming from. I stayed hidden in the bushes so they
wouldn't see me. I heard one of them ask another where the map was. I thought that they were just
another group of hikers. But just before I left to go on my way, I noticed the map had a tea stain in the same spot as the one I had left at home. I turned to leave to tell you guys but I stepped on a twig. I looked back to see that the one who had the map hesitate and look back slightly, but continue walking, but I could tell he was still looking my way. So I took off running. I heard him shout something but I kept on running. I got to that really rocky area and jumped from rock to rock and used tree branches to get back here. And I swept the tracks that I made at the entrance of the cave and half way here. And ran the rest of the way."
"Damn! I thought it would take your parents longer than this to get someone to come after us, AND have whoever they hired already this far." Artemis stared to pace.
"Calm down Artemis. We'll think of something," Usagi stated.
"Yes, clam down. Let's see here. It's the middle of September and the first snow will be in
October. We can't go anywhere else it's too close to winter to find a different place to live. I don't
think they'll be able to find us because of the honeycomb of caves. But just incase, I think we
should only venture out of the cave at night and when doing so, cover our tracks. Usagi-chan you can check your traps while Artemis and I get whatever berries and nuts we can find." Luna said as she lay down to take a nap, seeing that she wouldn't be going out to salvage as she had planned.
Usagi and Artemis looked at her and nodded. Artemis joined Luna on the floor while Usagi
started to skin the rabbits she had caught earlier.
~~~~One Month Later~~~~
"I can't believe it's already been a month since we took this job!! That onna just keeps
eluding us!! And we can't even catch those cats of her's!!" Wufei fumed as he waited for dinner to
be finished.
He had plenty of reason to be mad. They had found many tracks, plenty of tracks, but they only led to dead ends. Usagi and the cats were doing a very good job at covering their tracks.
"I think we should start keeping watch over the lake at night also. Maybe in shifts." Trowa
said.
"I agree. We're getting no where fast the way we're looking. I'll take the first shift and I'll
wake up the next person." Quatre said as he served each of the boys their dinner.
"I'll go first. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight," Hiiro said as he ate his meal.
"Okay. I'll go next then," Quatre said.
"I'm third," Duo called out.
"Forth," Wufei said.
Trowa nodded, acknowledging he was last.
After they had finished their dinner, Hiiro lay on top of his sleeping bag while the others got
in their's and fell asleep.
Later, while Hiiro was still just laying there, he thought he heard some rustling in the bushes. He didn't want to scare whatever was in the bushes so he just acted like he was asleep but kept his eyes slightly opened.
~~~~
Usagi was approaching the boys camp. She had been coming here twice a week to watch
Hiiro sleep for a little bit after she had checked all her traps. She was trying to figure out what this
odd feeling she felt was that came over her every time she saw him. She wasn't going to stop by tonight, but that feeling was telling her otherwise. The bushes rustled slightly as her peered through them looking at Hiiro.
When Hiiro saw her in person for the first time, he shot strait up at the foreign feeling in his
chest. This caused Usagi to turn and run. Hiiro was confused over this new emotion he was feeling but still got up and gave chase to the blond haired girl that was fleeing from him.
Usagi was breathing hard as she ran, ducking tree bushes and jumping over roots that were in her path. She could hear Hiiro behind her, slowly closing the gap in between the two of them. He was getting closer and closer. Usagi jumped over a root, ducked a branch and turned right hoping to lose him. *BANG* *Thump*
Usagi stopped and listened. There was no sound. She turned around and retraced her steps. Usagi gasped at her findings. There was Hiiro laying on the ground, uncoscience. Usagi rushed to him. She checked for a pulse and found one. Sighing, she started dragging him back to her cave, stopping every once in a while to cover their tracks.*
A/N: Hope you liked this chapter. Please REVIEW!! I love reading them!! ^_^ I'm going to be really really busy this week and I'm going out to town next weekend. But I'll try really hard, because it took me this long to get this chapter out, to get another chapter out before Saturday. ^-^
