C-x k when you are within the buffer you want to kill.

As an additional step (not really related to your issue,

(setq kill-emacs-query-functions
      (cons (lambda () (yes-or-no-p "Really kill Emacs? "))
                        kill-emacs-query-functions))

This makes sure you don't kill Emacs when you didn't mean it. C-x C-c is
too easy to hit.
