Kuma Kigahen

Crazy Bear

A/N One thing that makes Tekken so awesome is its variety of fighters, each with deep back stories that makes everything feel so real. From the day I registered as a Fanfiction author I began writing stories about the less read-about characters. Kuma Kigahen means Mad Bear, Crazy Bear, or Insane Bear, depending on the context. So please read, please review, and please enjoy my story.

15 years ago

Paul ran up to the ring. "Heihachi, I'm coming for you," he said in his cheesy biker voice. He jumps into the ring and stares in awe at the figure. "Uh, Heihachi?" The powerful brown bear, a muscular male, stared back at him. "Uh… your not… Heihachi…"

Kuma, the man-eating bear-pet of Heihachi Mishima, lunged itself at Paul. Paul won that fight eventually, but from then on, memories of the seemingly invincible bear plagued his nightmares. Kuma stalked him in his dreams, chasing and even attacking him with its sweeping paws, ready to crush him in its embrace. Paul lay in his bed, trying to think of an excuse for his friend Marshall Law to lend him a loan. But the bear wedged itself into his thoughts from the corner of his mind, even now, years later. "Crazy bear," he mumbled to himself before going to bed.

Kuma Kigahen Chapter 1

Kuma the Second

After Tekken 2

The man-eating Kuma died of old age while touring the world with Heihachi four years ago. For three years, Heihachi lived alone within the Mishima Zaibatsu. It was a life of peace, knowing that his son Kazuya was dead, his foster son Lee Chaolan was banished, his father probably rotting away, and no other heir to challenge him. But still, old man Heihachi felt empty.

He knew right away that he needed a pet. And no pet dog or cat would do.

A bear, a successor to his deceased Kuma. Heihachi knew that in the woods of the Hokkaido forests, Kuma had a mate.

Heihachi had one of the mate's baby bears be brought to his estate. The two-week old infant stared him straight in the eye and attempted to kill him. After pulling the clawing bear off of his chest, Heihachi smiled. "Your father would be proud."

6 months later

Heihachi groggily woke up and walked out of his Japanese-style room. He followed the noise of the Television. A strange noise was coming from over there.

"Kuma," Heihachi said as he entered the Television room of his mansion "why are you so loud?"

Kuma jumped excitedly, pounding the American sofa and roaring to the sky.

Paul Phoenix was on the television.

"Well, what do you know? If you hate him now, you should meet him in person. Hey, there's an idea," Heihachi mused. He walked over to his pet bear and smiled his rare genuine not-really-that-evil smile.

Kuma groaned quizzically.

Heihachi stroked his chin and apparently made up his mind. "I will train you to beat him, something even your father could not do. Yes, I will develop and teach you Kuma Shinken, a bear fighting style."

Kuma groaned sadly. This will seriously cut into his TV time…
