Now that you've mentioned it. Saito might actually protecting or at least trying to separate Yuu and Ashera from thr first is really plausable. Considering if he really wants to use Yuu to capture and defeat the first, he could have let Yuu stay behind and yet, he ordered the others to get him to Ikebukuro as they deal the first themselves.
