Fujisaka is the femslash ship between Chika Fujiwara and Ai Hayasaka from the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War fandom.
Canon[]
Ai Hayasaka and Chika Fujiwara are Kaguya Shinomiya’s closest friends and they occasionally meet and talk to each other. At school, while in her 'gal mode', Hayasaka maintains a friendly relationship with Fujiwara. Haysaca (her cross-dressing butler persona) is the only 'male' character who Fujiwara has shown genuine attraction to.
Because of the role Hayasaka plays in helping Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya get together, she often has to eliminate factors that may potentially hinder the progress of their relationship. As such, she often clashes with Chika Fujiwara's 'chaotic' and unpredictable nature. Hayasaka sees Fujiwara as something of a nemesis for a while, even going as far as to give her the name 'Subject F'.
In both chapters 152 and 162, we see that during winter break, Hayasaka is constantly pestered by Kaguya who talks about her kisses with Miyuki in excessive detail. Eventually, she becomes frustrated and desperate to know what a kiss actually feels like. At the time, she's 'hanging out' with Fujiwara at a mall in order to distract and prevent her from ruining Kaguya's date with Miyuki. Hayasaka asks Fujiwara how she feels about kissing and when the other girl admits she would like to be forced into a kiss by surprise, and Hayasaka tries to do exactly that.
In chapter 127 of We Want to Talk About Kaguya (the manga spin-off) we find out that Erika witnessed Hayasaka's attempt to kiss Fujiwara, leading her to assume the two are dating. She promises to keep it a secret, running away before the two are able to explain what happened. Then, in 128, Erika runs into Chika again at a "training camp" for the TG club and becomes flustered as she remembers the last time she saw her, nervously telling her that she hadn't told anyone about it. Chika yells back that she's making it seem too suggestive, before telling her that it was Hayasaka who tried to kiss her, because her 'needs aren't being satisfied'. Later, Hayasaka calls Erika in an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding as well, but Erika hangs up before she could explain.
After winter break (in chapter 152) the two's relationship becomes awkward and ambigious. Fujiwara is afraid of being kissed by Hayasaka again, while the latter is trying to desperately explain her actions. When she's cornered outside the student council room she hides behind Nagisa, exclaiming that's she's an LGBT ally, but is straight, and Hayasaka assures her she is too and that she's misunderstanding what happened. However, when Chika asks if that means Hayasaka wasn't trying to kiss her, she pulls a face and doesn't answer, in turn confirming that she was in fact trying to kiss Fujiwara. Hayasaka says that she only wanted to know how it feels to kiss someone, but she couldn't kiss a boy, so she just wanted to try with Chika. Fujiwara asks if she'd kiss Nagisa instead since she didn't care who it was, but both girls are shocked when Nagisa readily agrees to a kiss, and even states that it's understandable Hayasaka would want to kiss someone as cute as Fujiwara. This leads to both Hayasaka and Fujiwara running away, blushing wildly and covering their lips - possibly implying the two may not be as heterosexual as they say.
The attempted kiss storyline is tied up in chapter 133 of We Want to Talk About Kaguya, which begins with Erika trying to press a fishcake against Hayasaka's lips to simulate a kiss, which she readily declines. She gives the same offer to Chika, who refuses because she thinks that if she closed her eyes she wouldn't know whether it was the fishcake or Hayasaka, which Hayasaka understandably takes offense to. Karen finally gets the pair to discuss how they ended up like this, and tells both of them not to try and rush their first kiss. Erika then makes Fujiwara and Hayasaka promise to stop trying to run away from the other or try to steal a kiss, respectively. However, the two become flustered immediately afterwards due to the "sealed with a kiss" atmosphere following their promises.
In chapter 235, Fujiwara is lamenting being the only person in the Student Council not in love, and describes her ideal type as someone who is a hard worker, kind, smart, mature (like an older brother), athletic, introverted, and could call her out on her stupidity and play the "straight man". While meant to jokingly match Shirogane and Ishigami - as shown by Kaguya and Iino's reactions - it also applies well to Hayaska. Kaguya later suggests Hayasaka as a possible romantic candidate, saying that she's always telling Kaguya how cute Chika is, but Fujiwara panics and decides she's fine being single.
During the school trip to Kyoto, Chika and Ai's relationship seems to have been somewhat normalized. When Ai is being hounded by Unyo Shinomiya's henchmen, Chika helps her temporarily escape them.
In chapter 255, Chika finds herself extremely impressed by how tough Ai is and her self defense skills. As the two flee the scene with help from Ai's family, Hayasaka apologises for hiding who she was for so long, and promises to keep the other girl safe. Chika seems awestruck by this, watching Hayasaka with a blush (as well as the panel filling with 'shoujo bubbles'), before suddenly saying that she wouldn't mind letting Hayasaka kiss her after the whole ordeal came to a close.
In chapter 257 we see Hayasaka skating down a road with Fujiwara clinging to her, the two pursued by more of Shinomiya's men. Hayasaka tells Chika her plan to hack into the security system, which she also finds impressive. When they're cornered by one of Kaguya's brothers Fujiwara immediately steps forward, taking charge and mirroring their situation from a few chapters earlier. Chika tells Ai to go on without her, doubling down when she tries to argue, but we see Hayasaka hesitate further, before she eventually skates away to carry out her plan. This is notable because in the past Hayasaka has never been the kind of person to hesitate when she had a mission, especially if she was trying to protect Kaguya, but she seems to hold Chika's safety in a high enough regard that she'd waste time in such a dire situation.
In the flash-forward of chapter 276, Ai drunkenly proclaims that Chika is the only one for her and hugs her. Chika then complains about Ai leaving stuff at her place, Ai asks if she can stay with Chika, because the lease on her old place was expired, to which Chika says "Not again...", implying they've been roommates before.
Fanon[]
The ship was made after chapter 152 and quickly began to gain popularity in the fandom. This was also the case because the two were the only main characters left who weren't paired with someone else, as Shirogane and Kaguya have a canon relationship and Ishigami is usually paired with either Iino or Tsubame.
Though at first glance, it may seem like these two have no compatibility whatsoever, some fans believe their characters compliment one another for the following reasons: Hayasaka is reserved and stoic, while Fujiwara is lighthearted and easy-going. Hayasaka hides behind her many personalities with the intention of maintaining order. Meanwhile, Fujiwara is always her true self and unintentionally causes chaos wherever she goes. They are Kaguya's closest friends and affect her in completely different ways - with Fujiwara being seen as a rival, and Hayasaka - a confidant. Hayasaka has a somewhat tomboyish appearance at times, while Fujiwara is exceedingly cute.
This ship is relatively new and thus less developed. Fujiwara and Hayasaka's moments together are few in-between and the possibility of them being a thing becomes relevant only near the latest chapters of the ongoing manga. Fans who have not read the manga and even some of the readers are not aware of the ship. Because of this, there is almost no fanart or fanfictions about this ship. As such, it loses to Fujigami and Fujigane.
