Shadow Hearts III: Snippets
Special Installment: Gifts II
By Tiger5913
Subdue, Awaker x Tirawa – dedicated to bufudyne
It was kind of fitting that Shania would be the only one capable of taming his wild, dangerous side. There wasn't exactly an abundant amount of Will around to subdue his Malice every time it was released.
Time and time again, Shania scolded Johnny about being reckless with his malicious counterpart, but he was so determined to do his part and needed the power. She had to bring him back to his senses, in the end.
It didn't take long for Awaker to start glaring at the sun spirit with contempt, feeling its power burn away from her fierce rays.
Food, Johnny and Hilda friendship – dedicated to bufudyne
"I'm hungry…"
Those two words coming from Hilda were enough to send Johnny sprinting away and ducking behind Shania.
The tall priestess sighed and planted both hands on her hips. "What are you so afraid of, Johnny?"
"H-hey, I'm not gonna be vampire food again!" He protested, peeking out from around her.
"But your blood was tasty!" The fearsome vampire declared, pointing at him with her wand. "Now be a good little snack and stay still!"
Johnny was very lucky to have speed on his side as his sneakers burned rubber into the sidewalk, with his pursuer chasing after him.
Foolhardy, Ricardo x Hilda – dedicated to Darkwings13
This was a serious waste of time, Ricardo decided with an exasperated shake of his head. Watching Hilda chase after her would-be victim had been amusing for the first few minutes, but Johnny showed no signs of slowing down. Shania was definitely starting to look impatient too, and who knew what method she would choose to stop both of them? It was better to settle this now, quickly and painlessly. (Or limited pain, on his part.)
"Hilda, come," the mariachi called her over and bent down to one knee. He pulled his collar aside, purposely exposing his neck in offering.
Dreamcatcher, Johnny x Shania – dedicated to Darkwings13
Visiting the Garvoy tribe – destroyed as it was – had been a good idea, Johnny decided, although he didn't voice that out loud. Shania was slowly opening up to him more and more, telling him little snippets of her life as they made their way through her ruined village.
Seeing the way she held onto her mother's dreamcatcher with a sad, but soft gaze, he couldn't help frowning at the boys in her story.
He wouldn't have teased her…
While they continued onward, Johnny wondered how hard it would be to make a dreamcatcher. Maybe there were some books with instructions?
Caught, Johnny x Shania – dedicated to Leebot
It wasn't until the morning after that Johnny remembered Lenny was downstairs, just one level below them. He turned to look for the blonde sleeping beauty next to him, but she was gone from his bed. Then he heard her voice and quickly pinpointed her location.
Crap, he thought, and performed his morning ritual with lightning speed, before clamoring down the stairs to see his butler talking to Shania.
"Master, we have a visitor! Miss Shania just arrived this morning."
Johnny glanced at her with surprise, and she just gave him a conspiratorial smile in return. Their secret was safe.
End of Installment
Author's Note: Tiger lives! O.O It's been so long, fellow Shadow Hearts lovers! My love for this series was recently revived, and I'm jumping in headfirst… I still adore Johnny and his dorkiness. He is really, really persistent with Shania, isn't he? :3 Those of you that sent in requests last time, I'm so sorry I kept you all waiting. At least my inspiration is finally back? Take advantage of this revival and send me as many drabble requests as you can think of! XD Reviews are always welcome!
With love for my fans,
