During the last French Revolution:

A male with four tails observed the public execution, a large grin on his face. The female who was going to the guillotine walked with dignity, even though her own son was against her. As people cheered at the woman was laid near a blade, the male moved his tails chuckling, "Ah, what a beautiful bloody sight." Ashi's large grin faded even as the crowd cheered at the woman's head detaching from her body, "I agree, such a lovely murder." Ashi glared towards a bespeticaled man, "Who are you to be here?"

"I am William T. Spears. And you are Yoichi Takeo Hayashi, correct?" Ashi gave a growl, his tails surrounding his body making him look larger, "How do you know who I am?" William looked as if he was unafraid, his youthful appearance aging slightly as he held a mature look, "You're an odd demon." Ashi looked at him, his head tilted up as if he was sizing the male up, "You smell different... What are you?" Ashi looked as William looked back at him expectantly, "I could ask the same of you." Ashi gave a smirk as he slowly walked towards him tugging his peasant like clothing looser, "How intriguing... The stiff male wanting information, from a demon like me."

One hundred years later:

Ashi had just finished eating his latest kill, licking the blood off of his hands in satisfaction. A familiar scent passed through the air as he smirked, "Well, well. If it isn't Spears. I'm afraid you've caught me." Ashi had paused in licking the blood as he smirked, looking at the male in the nice suit.

"You're so strange Demon." Ashi gave a head tilt as he sighed, "You always say that. What is it?" William pushed up his glasses as he looked at the reels of the body, "Your murders show upon the list." Ashi chuckled as he decided to continue licking his hand again, "I don't eat souls, too hard to digest, I prefer the flesh." Ashi's face suddenly had a sultry smirk, locking eyes with William who had captured the reels. His own tongue slowed as he licked up his wrist, the red coming off easily, "In more ways than one sometimes."

"Your seductive ways will not distract me from my work. I must go back to the office to finish this paperwork." Ashi looked irritated that his newest prey was uninterested, "Then why do you insist on covering my murders?" William pushed up his glasses in a dismissive voice, "I do not 'insist' I simply am placed in charge of your odd ways." Ashi rolled his eyes before hearing the familiar sound of footsteps, "Well, if that is all, I must go. Unfortunately our time is cut short, Reaper." William rolled his eyes at the smirk along Ashi's face as he left, "Your pathetic puns will always be the highlight of my job."

At the office a few days later:

"Spears. You're needed to collect the five souls of these women. Use precaution as there is a demon present at the bodies." William nodded as he pushed up his glasses and set down his page left of paperwork, "Very well, I will make haste."

"I don't see this demon... but clearly something had done this." William stared at the bodies before him, most of which was torn to shreds, few had bite marks all along their arms. One woman was obviously still alive as she was sleeping in a completely different floor. William sighed as he began his work snipping away the reels he required for the job, unknowingly being watched from a distance. He glanced at the body that seemed to still be lukewarm, noticing something reflecting from the pool of blood, "Yoichi. It was you." William knew something was up when Ashi's tails did not reveal his signature smirk.
