Pakzumo

Pakzumo is the femslash ship between Noriko Paku and Izumo Kamiki from the Blue Exorcist fandom.

Canon
Paku was Kamiki's first friend. When Kamiki's classmates called her a "freak" for being able to see demons, Paku ignored all the rumors and stayed by her side anyway. Kamiki tries to warn her that the students would gossip if they saw them together, but Paku says it doesn't matter to her.

Shiemi sees the two walking together and trips in her eagerness to talk with them. Kamiki scornfully laughs at her while Paku apologizes for her friend's actions, reprimanding Kamiki at the same time. The next day, Shiemi yells out to them again, irritating Kamiki. When she asks to become friends, Kamiki agrees and then immediately hands her the bag she's holding. Paku protests but Kamiki dismisses it.

Kamiki invites Paku to go take a bath together. In the locker rooms, Kamiki comments on how spooky the place was. Paku doesn't respond and instead worriedly asks if Kamiki cares that she's being mean. Kamiki excuses her actions by saying that Shiemi wanted to. Out of the blue, Paku tells Kamiki that she has decided to quit the cram school due to not understanding most of the subjects and being unable to hold her own in a battle. Adding on to that, she says that she dislikes how Kamiki makes fun of others and apologizes for not being a true friend and saying it all earlier. She's suddenly interrupted by a drop of dark liquid falling onto her face, and the two girls look up and scream in terror when they see a ghoul crawling on the ceiling.

"I'm gonna help her! Paku's my only friend!!"

- Kamiki, Chapter 5

The ghoul's residue leaves a mark on Paku's arm so Kamiki summons her Inari familiars to save her friend. Yet she's suddenly struck with indecision, remembering that Paku didn't want to be her friend anymore. As she freezes, the Inari turns on her, deeming her unworthy of their aid. When Shiemi runs to Paku's body, Kamiki tells her it's a temptaint that will necrotize in minutes. After all the chaos has died down, Rin finds Kamiki crying behind the lockers over her inability to help her only friend.

Kamiki immediately goes to visit Paku and watches Yukio give her a diagnosis. The Okumura twins exit the room, leaving just Kamiki and Paku. Weakly, Paku laughs, commenting on both twins' coolness. She looks up at Kamiki, informing her of her final decision to leave the cram school. Kamiki apologizes as well for being a bad person, but Paku quickly responds that it's not because of her, it's just that the school was too hard for her.

"Don't look so down. Izumo, I like you just the way you are."

- Paku, Chapter 6

After defeating a ghoul with her classmates, Kamiki promises Paku that she'll keep doing her best. Rooms away, Paku sleeps and thinks about her parting words to Kamiki.

Fanon
Pakzumo is a small ship within the fandom, with both Paku and Kamiki having ships that overshadow it (IzuShie & Shizumo for Kamiki). On the final page of chapter 6, Paku mumbles to Kamiki to "straighten up a little", getting a riled shout from Kamiki. This could be Paku telling Kamiki to be a little more straight (heterosexual).
