HETE-2 localized 63 flares from SGR1806-20 and 6 flares from SGR1900+14 in the summer periods from June 18 2001 through August 7 2005. We report on the temporal and spectral analyses of short flares from those SGRs. The estimation of T90 durations in 2-30 keV and 30-100 keV revealed that there is no difference between them with a few exceptions. For these exceptional short flares, there seems softening or possibly hardening during flares, but these spectral evolution are not common. We also found a good linear correlation between the rise and decay time, and they do not depend on a peak flux. We also found that the spectra are well reproduced by a sum of two blackbody models for all short flares. The temperatures are lying around 4 keV and 11 keV which are consistent with previous studies. They are not depend on either the magnitude of flare, the event morphology or the source.
