Ranma had started acting different after the Meld. He had some of Ami's intellect, Akane's passion, Nabiki's cunning, Kasumi's serenity, and so on. Not much, more a trace of an impression, but it was enough to change him.
The main effect on those girls had been their dependence.
They began experiencing what could best be described as withdrawal symptoms whenever they were away from Ranma. Go beyond a certain range and the shaking began, the need, the craving.
The Nekoken incident had been the first time that craving had been completely satisfied.
Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi - all had been at the Tendo house at the time, so their being unable to go far from Ranma wasn't a big problem. On school days, Kasumi would start getting a little twitchy by the time school let out but that wasn't too bad.
Likewise Ukyo and Shampoo were not a particular problem. Shampoo could rest comfortably nearby, Ukyo shared a class. Their staying at the Tendo house was unexpected, but the initial frictions had died down after the first three days.
Kodachi transferred to Furinkan. Not much problem at all there. Her staying at the Tendo house was a problem initially, but if she got too bad the others simply tied her up and gagged her and sat her in the corner. Oddly enough she seemed to like this.
Honey was a bit more problem. Hard to do crimefighting while on a tether, so she took a teaching position at Furinkan and tried to settle into her role as "Honey Housewife" at the Tendo house and help Kasumi out.
Hotaru and Ami had had to transfer to Furinkan. Worse, Ami had had to tell her mother about her life as Sailor Mercury. Doctor Mizuno now visited regularly, and Ami was so grounded!

Nuku Nuku watched the antics and was a subject of fascination for Honey, Doctor Mizuno, Ami, and Setsuna. She now attended Furinkan herself.
Setsuna was in some ways the hardest hit. Going to the Time Gates could only be done in short spurts, and then she had to return. She was no longer the independent and lonely Senshi. She tended to brood a lot. Though she was a little better as the School Nurse hen the last girl they'd gotten.
Morrigan Aenslad smirked a lot, but was having as hard a time as Setsuna in some ways. Her main hobby was attempted seduction and nobody was safe from her innuendo and baiting.
"We're down by half," said Luna to Artemis. "We need to do something."
"Oh, like trigger them all into the Nekoken. Now there was a great idea," grumbled Artemis.
"Oh be quiet," chided Luna. "Do you have a better idea?"
Artemis thought for a moment. "Well, we could try:
