I think there's bad family background. I don't know what exactly, maybe she lost her family, or they are still alive but in danger somehow, or maybe she can't have children (part of the staying young or terminally ill theories?)
It is quite possible that Inara was sold by her family to the Companion Guild.

First off, a nitpick to the original posting: I don't get where Inara is supposed to be on the run--I've just rewatched "Out of Gas", and I didn't spot any telltales.
Yeah...that was Bushwhacked.

I selflessly turned use both into wanted fugitives.
INARA
Well. We're all running from something I suppose.
Corrected in the original post above. Note that it doesn't change the fact that Inara is running from something, regardless of what episode she said it in.

There are some interesting tidbits in a deleted scene on the Serenity DVD...
Want to know? Read ahead...otherwise steer clear of these *DVD EXTRA'S SPOILERS*
In a conversation between Inara and someone named Sheydra at the whore academy, we get some interesting commentary on the former's history. It seems many of the up-and-coming space hookers look upon Inara as "a figure of great romance," and that she's "seen so much." Also Inara had been training to be a companion from age 12. The sleep-over cadets even trade stories about her, including one about her and a certain pirate. Inara takes her cue to freak out when she hears that.

hmm, possible. Maybe we'll meet her family one day. Could be interesting!
Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.
