A negative rapport isn't possible; a rapport is a friendly, harmonious relationship in which the people involved understand each other and communicate well. We normally have a rapport rather than bear one. In a sentence like this, you would normally include the article.

Inverse relationship is probably what you need here.

chivalryBTW I think that the verb "bear" is correct since it's not a relationship between people or any social beings.
We don't say bear a rapport. We do sometimes say bear a relationship when we use relationship to describe the connection between one thing and another.
