"Why?"
Kagome fell backwards onto her bottom, stuttering. "I... I mean that... because... I just am, okay!" She didn't know why herself, so she couldn't really answer him.
Because she knew him?
Kind of.
Because it broke her heart seeing him like this?
Yes.
Because he had saved her from Mukotsu?
Yes.
Because he cared for the human girl, Rin?
Yes.
Because he had helped in defeating Naraku?
Yes.
Because he was her past?
Yes.
