 get input of an idea that I thought of.
 Here goes:  One day, a fire takes place at Uccan's.  Ukyo is trapped
 inside.  A mysterious stranger comes to the rescue.  Both are
 hospitalized.  When the stranger becomes conscious, Ukyo and Ranma are
 there to visit to give thanks and to offer anything for saving Ukyo's
 life.  This stranger KNOWS of the Ranma 1/2 universe, and thus throws
 this resopnse: "Yes, Ranma.  Ther is something you can do for me. 
 Have your dad adopt me so that I can be engaged to Ukyo."
 What do you think? >>

Let me guess, this guy is named Zen, right?  ^_^

This definitely sounds like an author self-insertation (not that I would ever
say anything negitive about those.  ;^_^).  My question is though, what's the
conflict?  A story has to have a conflict of some sort, or it's like watching
your neighbor's travel slides.
