   今、出ますか？出ない下さい。
   ima, demasu ka? denai kudasai.

   for the second phrase, you could try to use 居て下さい。whiches read “ite kudasai”, which means “please stay”.

   demasu – -masu for of deru, to leave.
   denai – negative to deru
   kudasai – “please”, used in sentences for request. also its respectful.
   ite – to stay. to exist. to be. (note that this word does not work the same as desu, imasu, arimasu or da)

  EDIT: the above is “are you leaving”..so if you want “Why are you leaving”

  i think “何故出ますか?” works better.
  naze demasu ka?

  there are a few “why” variations; 何故、如何して、何で。
  naze, doushite, nande.
