Detective Conan Blind AU

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)

Conan was now all bundled up in jackets and snow wear as Rena and Gin held one of his hands each as they helped him walk down the stairs of the lodge they were in. He was very pleased that he could tell where things were now, even if he could only see the outlines of things like walls and trees and people it was still more than he had before and more than enough to keep him from running into anything. He could even ride a snowboard or ski's on his own now without worrying about hitting anything!

"Let's see…there's plenty of buildings around here, the dam is over there…there seems to be a ski lift over there but nothing in between the lift and the forest." Conan said pointing in the directions where he could 'see' everything with his new 'echo location' glasses and making both of his parents smile softly down at him. It was amazing how quickly children adapted to new things and situations.

"That's the old ski area. It's been closed down though so the snow is really deep. It wouldn't be good to go over there." A local informed them before Conan felt tiny hands gripping his. It was Amy by the outline he could see.

"Come on Conan-kun! Let's have a snowball war!" Ayumi said tugging Conan towards a different house where there was lots of snow. He could tell because apparently his new ability and glasses function separated the snow and the ground into two separate layers, showing where one ended and the other began. If he wasn't seeing things wrong though he could even see things that were buried within the snow! He had to admit that it was a very neat little bonus.

"Come on sochi. I'll help you make the snowballs." Rena said following him and helping him form the snowballs so that they wouldn't fall apart when he tried to throw them.

"Let's get em Conan." Haibara said grinning darkly at the kids when Genta hit her with a snowball by accident, causing him to smirk slightly since he had Haibara on his team and she was definitely the scariest of the five Detective Boys.

"Oh….oh fuck." Genta swore at that making Haibara and Conan both burst out cackling evilly, Haibara did at least Conan just laughed.

"We're fucked." Genta said sighing heavily but he gave it a good go while Rena and Gin sweat dropped at the kids reactions while wondering how they knew those words and where from. Then again this was a group of kids who frequently dealt with criminals. They were both pretty sure that any of the criminals the kids dealt with didn't keep their mouths clean once the kids caught them.

Rena and Gin watched smiling as the five kids had a snowball fight before something seemed to catch Conan's attention with his sonar. He turned his head towards the house near where they were playing when he noticed a figure standing just within the house, a window probably?, that was looking towards them judging by the way the body was angled.

"C-can I…can I play?" The voice, a boy's that sounded about like a teenager, asked looking at them and Conan 'saw' the woman approaching the boy's room and how the other kids stopped making the snowballs as they all looked at the boy.

"He's talking kind of childish…" Genta was the one to say what the other Detective Boys were thinking as they all stared at the boy.

"Touma." Conan may have 'seen' the nice inn working lady drop the broom but Gin and Kir were the ones who heard what she had said and saw the shocked look on her face.

"Touma! You're awake." The woman that had opened the door to 'Toumas' room said shocked and dropping the bowl she had in her hands.

"Kaa-san. I can finally see kaa-san!" The boy, Touma?, said happily hugging the woman who lunged forward to hug him.

"A coma. That would explain his speech patterns being more childish than normal and how shocked they seemed to see him awake." Conan deduced almost immediately and 'seeing' a nod from Haibara by his side.

"He must have just been a kid when he went into the coma." Haibara said making Conan nod his head.

"Judging by his height he must be a preteen at the least right? Maybe a little older…" Conan asked making Haibara nod again.

"He looks about fourteen at the absolute oldest." Haibara confirmed making Conan nod slightly.

"That's Touma…he's been in a coma for the last eight years." The inn lady, Toono, said as she and Gin and Kir approached the kids.

"Eight years? But didn't the death of that girl happen eight years ago?" Conan asked making Toono nod.

"Yes. The same day that my little sister, Natsuki, was hit and killed in the hit and run Touma was found at the bottom of the cliff unconscious. He hasn't woken up at all in the past eight years." Toono explained making Conan wince. Ouch the sister? That had to suck.

"I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know how I would react or deal with my little brother dying…especially if it had been a hit and run done by one of my friends." Rena said wincing as well and giving Toono a sympathetic and sad look as the news reporter immediately looked for her little brother as if to reassure herself that he was okay.

"For that matter, your brother is not allowed near roads by himself or cliffs or mountains. I barely trust him with making snow angels." Gin said flatly and making Rena give a small half smile.

It didn't help that Conan saw Eisuke slip and fall into the snow a little ways behind them and just lay there before making snow angels.
