I am looking for a manga that has the heroine trying to escape from people who need her for something. Such as her powers, an object she might possess or they just want her.
If you know of any please respond and Thank you for your help!

Hmmm probably little far fetched but it was good.

Hahaha, I keep mentioning this manhwa left and right, but Saver fits to an extent. While the 1st volume sort of covers the background, around the second+ volume, you find that people are after the main character because she's the "Child of Prophecy"--someone who would overturn the world order. Most people actually just want to kill her.
Kubera - Quite long series, and to be honest, I'm up to date and I'm still not quite sure of the heroine's significance. Basically this girl is named Kubera and she has the same name as the god Kubera. From what I understand, it links her to that god and results in her having to play a role in something. People are after her because of this.
Ayashi no Ceres - One of the better works by Yuu Watase IMO. (Fushigi Yugi, her other work, is almost the epitome of shoujo cliches that I hate, not to say that Ayashi no Ceres isn't chock full of terrible cliches itself.) It's been a long time since I've read it, but basically the heroine's family wants to kill her for some reason. It has something to do with their ancestors and celestial maidens. She's basically on the run from her family.
Man, I feel like I've read this theme several times, but I'm actually having a difficult time coming up with titles that match your request. XD

I guess Magico (IWAMOTO Naoki) fits. Karin, though it's more in the later parts of the story. (Trying real hard to avoid spoilers here... ) Hime 100% also might fit. Princess Hanaka too (VERY open ending though). Ten no Ryuu Chi no Sakura...

Seconding Kubera and maybe Saver (depends on what you want).
Adding:
Gokukoku no Brynhildr: The girls have various abilities and are trying to escape from the organization that "made" them. It's very fast paced: apart from having to avoid the people sent after them, they also face a race against time because they'll die once they run out of medicine.
Maybe Arachnid: Assassination organization. The protagonist, who's highly talented herself, finds herself as the target. The assassination methods are all quite interesting and based off of various insects.

Red River is a classic example of the "special" heroine being pursued by people with nefarious purposes. Don't let the fact that it's a little on the older side keep you from reading. It's definitely worth the read. It is a shining star of the timeslip genre, which I generally dislike.
If you don't mind "they're after her because she's fomenting rebellion and they want to kill her," Legend of Basara is excellent. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Kanata Kara is another timeslip story where people are after the heroine. I found this one terribly dull, but a lot of people like it. Different strokes, I guess.
Male example: Natsume from Natsume Yuujinchou. Mostly, they want to eat him, but it's also for an object he possesses.

Nanase-powers
Trump!-powers
Yaotsukumo-powers
Rakia-its adult though, so be warned. chosen one type plot.
Nightschool-powers and other things.
Choukakou-lineage, then later for her intellect and tactics.
Agharta-i think she's modified? and wanted back to the lab? or her abillities, I can't remember. I read it too long ago. Just have a vague recollection of her being on the run from someone.
Ageha o ou monotachi? though that's more that they think she's a criminal...
Miss Mayple's tea time has a bit of this, but only really at the end. The rest of it is fairly mellow slice of life.
Elemental gelade-rare living weapon that's valuable thus wanted by people.
Durarara!!-although I've only ever read the scanslated manga to the point its at. Which has a girl that is trying to escape from people. She isn't the mc though.
Tista-though its for her being a criminal again.
Seirei no moribito-only read the first chapter of it, then watched a bit of the anime. Its not her specifically that they're targeting, its someone she's travelling with. Though because of the knowledge she has they'd hunt her even if she wasn't with them.
Natsunokumo- not the mc, they have to stay hidden due to their limited edition character designs, as pics of them sell for lots of money. Its difficult to explain...
Global garden- I think she had to escape from people due to her powers. Not 100% sure as I haven't read it in a while, I'm like 80% sure it happens at some point in the manga.
Kakan no madonna-I can't remember what it is she had but she was chased all over the place for it.
Ao no fuuin-her powers/existence. They're after her in order to kill her.
Gekka bijin-lineage (not 100% sure on this one)
Angel diary-explains in the description. Basically just important person runs away from home.
Normal city I'm fairly certain her origins follows along these lines.
Gakuen alice ding! this certainly does fit the bill. She's has to escape the clutches of multiple people throughout the manga.
Hime 100%- I think, not entirely sure. Something about her origins maybe? (edit: seconded)
Tsubasa reservoir chronicles-powers. Though there are multiple bad guys and things people want...though with the arch enemy, its her powers.
Rure-powers again. It mainly happens at a specific part a fair ways into the manhwa.
Shut hell-mainly wanted for revenge/because she poses a threat, though later its also for her companions and a possession.
Xing Gui Shi Tian Kong De Dao Lu-arranged marriage
Knight princess-lineage? i think, possibly powers but not 100% sure on that one.
legend of nereid-similar to basara, wanted because of a prophecy.
Tenma no ketsuzoku- lineage and possibly power...
Ayashi no ceres- seconded
Angel at war-wanted for her previous incarnation.
Peacemaker-not the mc, she's wanted for a certain piece of knowledge she has and her lineage.
You've probably already seen it, but if not then the anime film Laputa castle in the sky by Studio Ghibli has this plot as well.
