But that’s the kind of thing that’s really left up to interpretation, because it wasn’t Mika yuu or any of the creators saying that. But on the other hand Asuramaru feels and sees everything yuu does so if yuu had feelings for Mika Asuramaru would know about it, but even if that was true we still don’t know anything about how Mika feels about that. Interpretation has been the key theme, as you say even all knowing Asuramaru has not commented on Yu. This is in contrast to Byakomaru who did comment on Shinya's feelings - the author is deliberately leaving Asuramaru knowing Yu's feelings unaddressed. It's also a part of how wondering isn't really the point, only enjoying the story and that.
