The Returned

Bates is, in my opinion, an outside spirit who was trapped some many years ago within the pages of a cursed book. Anyone who reads the book will be forcably injected with Bates' personality. He's been jumping body-to-body for many years, and with each new body, he finds himself, or at least his host, suffering a very painful demise, to which the host dies instantly, but Bates is forced to suffer through all the many hours of agonizing torture.
Because of this cycle of horrific, painful deaths, Bates has become a bit of an ass, shunning all on the outside, giving off a cold, unjust exterior. HOWEVER, he harbors a certain love for Yu, as she's his current host. He tries his hardest to protect Yu from death, and as such, attempts to protect himself from another horrifying end.

That's, at least, the explination I gave in "Only I know Yu like you." Best I could think of.
